Learning that never ends

By Sam Oldenburg/New Media Coordinator | 10.09.2013

Kindergartner Jackson Hickey didn’t need any help to get into his prayerful stance while Father Bob Ring gave a blessing over the new Early Learning Center at St. Louis School in Pittsford in September. He did, however, need help from his teacher when it came to spelling his last name for me.

I’m sure that one day Jackson and all of his classmates will be able to spell their names without any assistance. I’m equally sure a day will come when they think they know all about prayer as well.

My advice for Jackson and his classmates: Don’t let your prayer life become stagnant; allow it always to evolve. Prayer is something about which we should never stop learning.
