Catechist Retreat

This past Saturday Sister Margie and Sister Luz were busy giving a cathechist retreat in Pecos. What you see at your left is not Little Red's Riding Hood basket but part of one of the activities that took place at the retreat. This is a basket full of "Prayer Rocks". Take a good look at the second picture. Below you will find the text of the "Prayer Rock". About 60 cathechists were reported to have attended. This retreat is part of the outreach of West Texas Ministry. We thank God for the Sister's presence among us.

Prayer Rock

I am your little prayer rock
and this is what I'll do.
Just put me on your pillow
'till the day is through.

Then turn back the covers
and climb into your bed and,
whack! your little prayer rock
will bump you on the head.

Then you will remember
as the day is through,
to kneel and say your prayers
as you intended to.

Then when you are finished
dump me on the floor.
I'll stay there through the nighttime
to give you help once more.

When you get up next morning,
clunk! I stub your toe,
so that you will remember
your prayers before you go.

Put me back upon your pillow
when your bed is made,
and your clever little prayer rock
will continue in your aid...
