Know that no matter how tough it gets, what you do is so important to the spiritual well being of not only the students you work with each week, but the entire parish, and therefore the Church as a whole. Without you and the other catechists who dedicate so much of their time, parishes would suffer spiritual decline and lack of growth.
Today's families are so busy with so many different activities, great activities that help the youth grow in academics, in athletics, in volunteerism, and many others. Sometimes in the busy schedules, the spiritual and religious growth of our youth is neglected. With God's grace, we may touch the hearts of many of the youth who pass through our classes and activities, but even one youth experiencing God in a greater way is a gift. |
We cannot and should not be out there alone. Remember God is with you and so are many others who pray for the spiritual renewal of parishes.
Although, I am only one person, I would like to add you to my prayer list. |
