I had the pleasure of attending some Diocesan educational training classes today. I learned so much about educational techniques and formation. I hope to put that to good use in the autumn. Also, one of the handouts contained a quote I just loved. It’s by Kahlil Gibran:

You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The Archer sees his mark on the pathway of the infinite and He bends you with his might that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the Archer’s hands be for gladness;
for he loves the arrow that flies, so
He loves the bow that is stable.
