Prayer
for
Spring
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,
We
continue
on
our
journey
through
Lent
and
the
season
of
Easter.
As
a
community,
we
continue
to
spend
time
in
daily
prayer
and
reflection.
Taking
the
time
from
our
busy
schedules
to
pay
extra
attention
to
our
relationship
with
God
can
take
many
forms.
Participating
in
the
celebration
of
the
sacraments
is
certainly
one
form;
spending
time
nourishing
human
relationships
could
be
another.
This
year
we
have
made
a
particular
effort
to
have
students
consider
their
language.
We
hope
that
everyone
may
avoid
inappropriate
language
and
make
a
special
effort
to
use
more
polite
and
courteous
words.
When
we
see
all
the
partners:
parents,
teachers
and
students
working
together
in
so
many
ways,
we
truly
recognize
and
celebrate
all
that
we
gain
through
our
devotions
in
Lent
and
our
celebration
of
Easter.
On
behalf
of
the
entire
staff,
we
wish
all
of
you
a
very
Happy
and
Holy
Easter.
