Dear Families,

         “The Almighty has done great things for me.”                                                                    Luke 1:40

This quote from the Magnificat is a reminder to each of us of the infinite blessings which we, like Mary, have received. Too often in our lives, in our conversations, and even in our prayers, we focus on what is lacking or missing. Yet, if we spent ten solid minutes composing a list of all the goodness God has bestowed on us this day, we would quickly find that we could not enumerate all of these many blessings.

The start of a new school year is a time to be thankful for the people, the place, and the mission before us. This week find a quiet moment to stand in God’s presence to recognize his generosity and to thank him for all those who support us in this mission.

Tomorrow we celebrate Mary’s birthday. Take a few minutes to thank her for saying “Yes” to God’s plan!
