A Religious Educator's New Year's Prayer
By Natalie Maxwell Fenimore
You know that you might really be praying all the time:
May the story you have chosen be the right one to bring the word to life.
May the volunteers share their inner light.
May the children be safe and loved.
Here – Everywhere – Always – We pray
Maybe we only think that we are praying special prayers for the New Year.
New beginning prayers for our always and ongoing calling.
You know that you are yourself an always prayer.
All the time, a calling
An inner light shared
Safety and Love prayed for – and may the holy work be done to make it real.
