Prayers

I was looking for something appropriate to post on this page.  As I read over these well-known quotes, it occurred to me that these are some thoughts which should be pondered at this time.  Please feel free to add any other appropriate thoughts and prayers to share at this time.

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered.

Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.

Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies.

Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you.

Be honest and sincere anyway.

What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight.

Create anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous.

Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, will often be forgotten.

Do good anyway.

Give the best you have, and it will never be enough.

Give your best anyway.

In the final analysis, it is between you and God.

It was never between you and them anyway.

Mother Teresa

    Amy and Greg Bechert sent this to me.

    “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. I know my own sheep and they know me just as my Father knows me and I know my Father. And I lay down my life for the sheep.”

      Megan . . . You go girl!! I am proud of you. Tina has been a strong principal for all these years. St Michael’s is lucky to have her. I hope for her the best
      from this situation. God bless St Michael’s parent community for this well deserved show of support.

    This prayer from the wall of one of Mother Teresa’s orphanages in Calcutta is an excellent choice for Miss A.’s situation and for your families who are at a loss for understanding this situation. Thank you for sharing it here. Miss A. I’m praying for you and St. Michael’s families too.
