The words of St. Augustine, “If you
aspire to great things, begin with little ones” reminded me the summer holidays
are coming to a close thus signalling a return to school and the halls of
academia for many. The return to school can be both a stressful and an enjoyable
experience for many families. For the younger children and their parents it can
be a very exciting time as they begin school for the first time. The older ones
will negotiate the transition from primary to secondary school and begin a new
phase on their journey. Much will be learned during the coming year but always
in small steps. That is true of all of us in life. We are learning more about
ourselves each day, about our faith, and those around us. Personally, it is
good to be back to a routine again. Routine allows us to be comfortable with
what we have to do and what we like to do. As we welcome the month of September
we pray that all of us, no matter our age, will be open to learning new
possibilities in our lives. “Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I
cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know
the difference”.
