Our annual Blessing of the Backpacks on Sunday, August 16, marked the beginning of a new school year for our children and reminded them that they were held in our prayers as they navigated new beginnings and transitions.
Jesus invited us to wonder, ask questions, and explore the deepest parts of ourselves.
Jesus was a teacher at heart. He invited us to wonder, ask questions, and explore the deepest parts of ourselves.
While this blessing focused on our youngest learners, may it continue to remind us of Christ’s invitation to grow and learn throughout our lives—so that we might better serve the world around us.
