Inspiration
Too often we don’t hear enough about the goodness of people. A friend took the time to write the letter pictured here to us at school. Even in the midst of pain, she took the time to write. Thanks to her and to our children who so readily understand the basic sorrow of the human heart that comes to us all at times. With a little guidance they are eager to support others through a show of compassion and solidarity. Good job, St. Teresa children, teachers, and staff. And thank you Lord for the inspiration from which every good act proceeds. May the Good Lord continue to bless us all.
Sister Mary Michael, C.K.
