Prayer Before Math Class

Our parish school, St. Vitus, began classes one week ago.  It's great seeing the kids back in school, although I'm not ready to admit that this Labor Day weekend marks the coming of fall.

When I went around to see the kids on the first day, our fourth grade teacher, Justin Venasco, handed me this cute prayer.

Dear God,

May we, through your blessings,

add purity to the world,

subtract evil from our lives,

multiply your good news,

and divide your gifts and share them

with others.

Amen.
