Words from ‘The Windy City’
Totter a bit, but then, regain balance and move forward escorted by life’s ever-present wind.

Our Expected Guest
There is excitement in the air!

Days of Prayerful Service (a parent’s prayer)
The phone rings. The baby cries.
The school child asks for answers.
The mail arrives. The bills appear.
The laundry piles. The cooking waits.

Mary, Mother of the Church
'When life confronts us with its difficulties, we, the People of God, can turn to Mary ...'

Take good care (A child’s prayer)
Thank you for all the wonderful things
You have made:
The whole world, all the people
My home, my school, my friends, my pets.

A walk with God
Be my guide.
Help me to be aware
Of all that lies before, behind and around me.

Life is changed … not ended
Autumn, in all its beauty and decline, reminds us that this is a time to harvest our blessings in a spirit of thanksgiving, as well as a time for letting go and preparing for the season ahead.
