“If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.”
Mother Teresa

Reflection: The news in France of the terrorist attacks and the ongoing war in Syria has been filled our media with images of violence which continue to shake the world. We must remember those who have been killed or injured at the hands of others. We must remember them and their families in our prayers.

Prayer: Jesus, help the world become a more tolerant and peaceful place. Amen.

School Prayer

Blessed John Henry Newman. V. Pray for Us

“Our real blessings often appear to us in the shape of pains, losses and disappointments; but let us have patience and we soon shall see them in their proper figures.” Joseph Addison

Reflection: In times of struggle, pain and anguish we sometimes look to God and ask, why? Why does this happen to me? What have I done to deserve this? Remember that God has created this path for you to test you, to challenge you. Stay strong and persevere and you will find the true meaning of life.

Prayer: Lord, make me more patient so I can hold on until you turn things around for my favour. This I ask through your son Jesus Christ, my friend and saviour. Amen. 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

Thursday, 14th January
“The king of love my shepherd is, whose goodness faileth never.
I nothing lack if I am his, and he is mine forever.”
Henry William Baker
Reflection: I did tell you, but you do not believe. The works I do in my Father’s name testify about me, but you do not believe because you are not my sheep. My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.
Have you ever doubted the word of the Lord? What can we do to build our faith in him?
Prayer: Jesus, tender shepherd hear us, bless the staff and pupils of Cardinal Newman tonight, through the darkness please stay near us, keep us safe till morning light. Amen.

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.

Feast of St Kentigern, Patron of Glasgow

“The heart that is generous and kind most resembles God.”

Robert Burns Reflection: When Jesus sacrificed himself on the cross for us, he cried out, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” Even after he was betrayed Christ still forgave his people. We should think to ourselves, do we forgive our friends, family or peers when they do wrong? Is there any point to hold a grudge? We should all remember to love one and other as Jesus loved us.

Prayer: Holy Spirit, help all of us to forgive people who have hurt us. Heal our emotions that have been wounded and teach us how to love unconditionally. Continue to extend your love and mercy toward us to remind us to use your power of living. Amen.

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. St Kentigern, Pray for Us.
