Notre Dame High School, San Jose

As we gather for homecoming activities this week, let us take a moment in the excitement to pause and reflect on these past few days. How have we found joy in the last few days? How have we made a positive impact on the people around us? _(Pause)

Early this morning, a delegation of eight students and three staff members departed for Washington, DC to attend the annual Ignatian Family Teach In. Each year thousands of high school and college students join together to discuss strategies for advocacy on different national, state and local issues facing Americans. Our ND delegates will participate with other schools and meet with lawmakers on Capitol Hill!

Let us pray. God of justice, may those young people from around the country who gathered for the Ignatian Family Teach In, and especially our delegation, come home with new ideas to implement in our community. May we raise our voices for the voiceless, silenced, or afraid, and may our hands work with and for those that can't. As we embrace our communities near and far, we remember and thank all who have helped us on our journey. Help us to cherish these moments, and recognize Your love in the people around the world. We pray this in the name of all that is good and holy. AMEN.
