Last Monday, our seventh grade catechist asked if she could take her PSR class to the church.  Of course, my answer was a very quick "yes."  Mrs. Sirek took her class to the Adoration Chapel, where the class prayed a rosary in honor of Our Lady of the Rosary, whose feast day was on October 7.  Then they wrote prayer intentions and lit candles in the Garden of Memories. 

What a beautiful lesson for our seventh graders.  Mrs. Sirek was so touched by the piety and genuine prayers and devotion of her class.  As I have often said, these students always teach me more about my faith than I can ever teach them.  It is in these moments that my hope for our youth is restored.  We need more prayer in our broken world.  We need our children to lead us and to show us the future, and it all begins and ends in prayer.
