Today is the Feast Day of St. Faustina. St. Faustina is the Patron Saint of Mercy. Our God wants us to be at peace with each other. To do that, we must be kind, forgiving, and merciful to others, just like St. Faustina.

Yesterday was World Teachers' Day. Around the world, teachers are recognized for the good that they do. Today, we pray and give thanks for all our teachers and instructional assistants.

Let us pray:

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Dear Lord,

Thank you for the gift of our teachers and instructional assistants.
Please give them the grace they need to see You in every child.
May they find joy in each smile, hug, and high five!
Help them truly know what a difference they make
in the lives of their students.

Saint Jean Baptist de la Salle, patron saint of teachers, pray for us.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
