These kids are going up fast, waltz. The task for their teacher, then, is to suggest to them ways to feel safer in these crazy unsafe times. (and I don't just mean diversifying their portfolios)

yes. as their catechism teacher, I'm allowed to offer to them everything I believe-- everything I pray and do-- for all those times when I'm afraid and all the more times when I'm not afraid.

even when teaching that age group costs me plenty, i get a lot more than i give.
