Today in Sunday Religious education we had a quick lesson, and then we had a review and took questions from the kids. These 6th graders are a inquisitive bunch. I love answering their question as much as they love asking them. 6th graders are always trying to find ways around things. The question are usually filled with, what if. We adults need to be more like these kids. By that, I mean we need to seek answers. It seems that after confirmation adults seem to think that we have arrived, all of our learning is over. Nothing could be further from the truth. With a Church history of 2,000 years we could learn something everyday about our faith. The Bible says seek and you will find. We need to seek more. We need to become as children. When I look into the faces of these 6th graders I see future priest, nuns, monks, and even future catechist. Someday one of these kids are going to be teaching my grand kids the faith. As teachers of the faith we must guide these young people to see that the church is theirs and that they need to take a active role in it. Do I have all the answers? Not even close. I try to learn something new everyday about my faith and draw closer to my Lord. When I watch a student contemplate the things they have just heard, it makes me realize that I need to constantly be contemplating the things of the Lord. Lent has arrived once again, and what better time to look deep within myself and correct my faults. My prayer is that by Easter, I will have cleared out enough cobwebs to see clearly the areas in which I need to grow. I pray that I will seek answers to my question with the same urgency that the 6th graders do. May God's grace be with us all, this Lenten season.
