ing for the needs of the community and the world. By example we teach
our children compassion for the world, we give offerings to those who are
struggling with the situation they find themselves, not judging, but freely
giving of our treasures, time and talent to better our community and world.
Our children learn from our example, wanting to emulate the compassion
and charity offered by us. We enrich their world by being stewards of our
fellow humans, offering kindness and generosity when no one is looking.
Our children see everything we do.

Creator God, Heavenly Lord, we thank you for teaching us to pray. Please
continue to inspire us to teach others to pray, especially our children. May
our prayers to You allow times of silence, so that we, in our prayer, are
able to listen to You. Thank you for the gift of our children. As your ser-
vants we teach our children that your love is unconditional and constant,
that when we offer up our prayers to you, for you are with us. Please
watch over our precious children, let the example of your Son˅s prayer be a
guiding light to you and your Spirit. We ask this in the name of Your Son,
Jesus Christ. Amen.
