A Fall Prayer

O Lord, the time of year reminds us that for every end there is a beginning; after the rest and re-creation of summer, there is the return to the routine of daily life.  O Lord, help us to maintain the youthful spirit of summer throughout the coming year, remembering that youth is not a time of life – it is a state of mind.  So long as our hearts receive messages of beauty, cheer, courage, grandeur, and power from the earth, from man, and from You, O Lord, so long are we young.

For all the teachers and students who have returned to school after the long summer break:  grant them to know that which is worth knowing, to love that which is worth loving and to esteem that which is precious in Your eyes.
