School Prayers
Morning Offering
Father in Heaven,
I give you today
all that I think and do and say,
and are united with all that is done,
by Jesus Christ your dearest Son.
Amen
Before Lunch
This meal O God is a sign of your love for us,
bless Lord those who prepared it and be with us as we eat.
Amen
After Lunch
Thank you God for the food we have eaten,
Please send help to those who do not have enough to eat.
Amen
End of the School Day
God our Father
I come to say,
thank you for your love today.
Thank you for my family,
and all the friends you give to me.
Guard me in the dark of night
and in the morning send your light.
Amen
We also pray the Our Father and Hail Mary regularly during our Collective Worship. Our Reflection Room has a prayer board on which children can display their own prayer intentions, and many classrooms also have a designated space for this purpose.
Our Trust Prayer
God our Father, let our individual paths converge as one, united in faith. Help us to grow together in your love and care, and to follow the example of your Son, Jesus Christ, in our daily work and lives. Filled with the grace of the Holy Spirit, and through the intercession of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, instil in us the little ways of doing ordinary things through extraordinary love. When stones of doubt are cast upon us in burden, like a little flower rekindle our faith as children of God, filling our hearts with hope and love. Together, may we plant the seeds that one day will grow, knowing they hold future promise, enabling us to become all we are called to be. We make this prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Saint Thérèse of Lisieux: Pray for us.
