Anyone who works with young people know that they have a tendency to open up our understandings about the world. That happened to me today at our end of retreat mass. The students who were in charge of the “call to Prayer” put the word “service” or “love” on each person’s hand as they walked in. The students then had us hold hands with someone who had the other word, providing a lesson about how service and love are inextricably linked. It was crystal clear through that visual that the two provide a chain - service should come from a place of love AND bring more love into the world. That shared belief is what unites my Quaker faith with my Catholic school.
