Saints and Teachers

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Quite a few of our children are teachers and so, today I was looking up patron saints of teachers and mathematicians.   Well, once you get going on something like this it’s down the rabbit hole!  I have come to the conclusion that just about every saint started out as the child of poor peasant parents…sometimes a shoemaker…and most of them were born in Italy or Spain.  So much for lovely Mary who watches the dog and brings me a  solar lit chandelier for the backyard pergola.  I think we all need to start a “book of the daily saints”.  I bet we could find at least one every day.

Word for the day :  Haggai 2:19:  Is there any seed left in the barn?”  I bet there is.

Amen for today…bless the teachers.. Be Holy
