Psalm 23

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
In verdant pastures he gives me repose;
beside restful waters he leads me; he refreshes my soul. 
He guides me in right paths for his name's sake.
Even though I walk in the dark valley I fear no evil; 
for you are at my side with your rod and your staff
that give me courage. 
You spread the table before me in the sight of my foes; 
you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 
Only goodness and kindness follow me all the days of my life; 
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord
for years to come. 

Good afternoon,

The above Psalm, certainly one of the most well-known, was read at Mass on Sunday.  Even though this Psalm was selected for this day long ago, it's always fascinating to me how the Holy Spirit knows exactly what we need to hear.  Psalm 23 is a strong reminder that even in the most challenging times, the Lord is with us.  Guiding us to find hope and filling us with joy.  God places family, friends, classmates, and teachers around us each day to love, support, and provide for our every needs.  Netflix goes a long way as well during these times, but God provides in many ways!  He is with us always, but we must be open to His presence.  

I think it is important to acknowledge that the total impact of this pandemic is both personal and far reaching.  The physical, emotional, and mental health of every member of society is at risk, and we have a responsibility to take care of our fellow humans.  I thank all Carroll families for stepping up to do what's right for the common good, for accommodating the unique needs of your children during online learning, and for expressing your gratitude to our teachers for their extraordinary efforts.  Even though the immediate future is unknown, I am confident that the Carroll community will rise to the top and be stronger moving forward as a result.

It's still a great day to be a Patriot!
