Prayer for Spring
Newsletter
Volume: 8
Issue: April 8, 2013
Blessed are you, Lord, for the glories of Spring.
The World bursts with the signs of resurrection;
Flowers stir in their winter beds, poking through the last traces of snow.
The sun drenches us with its warmth, stirring the hidden and waiting life within
the earth, within us.

The world awakening reflects the movement of my heart and I am
touched in the depths of my spirit.
Art work is the power of your hands, the Spirit of drawing life from things both old
and new.
To be praised are you, Lord
for the blessings of Spring.
Dear Parents/Guardians,
This month we will celebrate the virtue
of love.
God sent his Son, Jesus, to make sure
that we could see what life could be like.
Jesus made one lesson clear above all
other lessons – the lesson to love. Love
is not about us – it is about forgetting
ourselves and looking out for the good
of the other. That’s what Jesus did – he
forgot about himself on purpose. He
chose to give up his life for the good of
others – us!
Becoming a truly loving person is
challenging. It takes prayer and
concentration to get used to making
little sacrifices for the good of others.
Making little sacrifices on purpose so
that others will have a bit of food, a bit
of shelter, a bit of peace, a bit of quiet, a
bit of fun, a bit of friendship.
Through prayer and concentration, we
can get better at showing love to
everyone we meet.
