Dear Sisters and Brothers in the Lord:
I am always amazed at how
quickly summer passes by. Our new school year begins this Tuesday.
Let us ask God’s blessing on
all parents, students, teachers, and staff.
We
give you praise, O God,
for everything that is new and beautiful,
for everything which holds promise and brings us joy.
Bless us as we start this new year with our friends and school staff.
Help us to make the most of every chance we have to start afresh.
May we show love to one another and to all.
May the new beginning of this school year
remind us that you give us chances to start over again and again.
Help us to learn and to work together.
We thank you for our friends
Help us to be good friends this year.
Help us to be patient with ourselves and with others.
Bless our school and keep us safe.
Be with us as we travel each day.
Help us to be aware of your love
shown to us in the people around us.
Bless all those who care for us
In school and at home.
Help us show our care for them.
May St. Kieran protect us
And help us to live as well as we can, giving thanks to God in all we
do.
We ask this prayer in Jesus' name.
Amen.
May God Bless all those in attending elementary and High
Schools, colleges and universities. Have a great year.
Let’s give our minds and hearts to the Lord!
Father Joe |
