When your heart is broken, I’ve found that this prayer helps, makes it just a little bit easier to continue.

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see G’d.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of G’d.

Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.

Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Reading about your students, I was reminded of a patient I had who was raised by her grandmother, to whom she was not genetically related. The kid, let's say, was a piece of work. But eventually she grew up and made something food of her life.
