Daily Prayer

“And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of the underworld shall not prevail against it”. (Matthew 16:18)

There is an old saying that there is strength in numbers. To stand alone for a cause is hard, but to stand with a group gives us bravado, purpose and identity. Jesus knew that. He knew that His mission would be accomplished more easily if many individuals banded together as one body to give strength and support to one another.Faith

Do I give active support to the faith communities of my school and parish, or is my involvement in name only?

School Prayer
Lord, I thank you for bringing me to another day.
May I live it completely for You,
Through you,
With You and in you. Amen

Blessed John Henry Newman, Pray for Us.

Daily Prayer

Feast of St Anthony of Padua
“The people who sit in darkness have seen a great light, on those dwelling in a land overshadowed by darkness, light has arisen”. (Matthew 4:16)
When do you find yourself preferring darkness to the light of Christ? Can you make some changes to your life that will ledarkness.jpegad you to the light of Christ?

School Prayer

Lord, I thank you for bringing me to another day.
I live it completely for You,
Through you,
With You and in you. Amen
Our Father
Blessed John Henry Newman, Pray for Us.
