My Prayer

Dearest Father, Jesus was a great example of what it means to be a master teacher. He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his subject. He was a good communicator, inspiring people to listen and learn. He was respectful and responsive to the needs of those he taught, as well as, being patient, kind, and encouraging. People loved being around him, because he was approachable and friendly, even showing a sense of humor at times. On the other hand, he was firm and consistent when disagreements arose. Thank you so much for sending him to us. Amen.
