Catechist's Know-How is "Be Not Afraid" by Mary Lou Rosien»
Dear Lord, You speak often about seeds planted and growing. I know I have the seed of Your ways planted in me. It’s growing, too, Lord. I’m realizing right from wrong. I care what You think of things I do and thoughts I have. I realize You want me to be a leader and stand up for what You stand up for. Show me how to keep on growing, Lord. I want to know the strength and the joy that comes from You.
