Come back to me, with all your heart.
Don’t let fear keep us apart. Trees do bend, tho’ straight and tall.
So must we, to others’ call.
As we have to opportunity today for the Sacrament of Reconciliation, help us to focus on the strength and courage we can gain from this beautiful encounter with You. Open our hearts to Your grace and give us the power of Your loving peace.

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

With this week, we begin the second part of Lent. We ask more and more deeply to be with and like Jesus. Sometimes the simplest acts like holding a door open or saying ‘Good morning’ can remind others of the goodness in each and every one of us. May we be motivated to experience your love and to focus on small acts of kindness to one another.
Lord be with me today in all my thoughts, deeds and words. Help me to see you in everyone I meet and to spread your love through my actions.

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

Let us pray for Church Unity
We humbly ask you, Lord, lover of human family,
To pour out more fully upon us the grace of your Spirit,
And grant that, walking worthily in the vocation
To which you have called us,
We may bear witness to the truth before others
And seek with confidence
The unity of all believers in the bond of peace.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ your Son,
Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit
One God, for ever and ever.

Let us pray for Vocations to the Priesthood and Religious Life
Holy Father, who call all the faithful to perfect charity,
Prompt many to follow more closely in the footsteps of your Son
As priests and religious.
Grant, also that those you have chosen for this special calling
May, by their way of life,
Show to the church and the world
A clear sign of your Kingdom.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ your Son,
Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit
One God, for ever and ever.

Let us pray for the persecuted Church
O God, who in your providence
Will that the Church be united to the suffering of your Son,
Grant, we pray, to your faithful who suffer
For your name’s sake
A spirit of patience and charity,
That they may be found true and faithful witnesses
To the promises you have made.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ your son,
Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit
One God, for ever and ever.

Today let us pray for the Holy Father Pope Francis, who has especially asked for our prayers during this Year of Mercy.
O God, shepherd and ruler of all the faithful,
Look favourably on your servant Francis,
Whom you have set at the head of your church as her shepherd;
Grant, we pray, that by word and example
He may be of service to those over whom he presides
So that, together with the flock entrusted to his care,
He may come to everlasting life.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ your Son,
Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit
One God, for ever and ever.

Creator of my Life, renew me: bring me to new life in you. Touch me and make me feel whole again. Help me to see your love in the passion, death and resurrection of your son. Help me to observe Lent in a way that allows me to celebrate that love. Prepare me for these weeks of Lent, help me do my best to fast every Friday. Help me during Lent as I feel both deep sorrow for my sins and your undying love for me.

During this time of renewal, Lord, we know that you do not ask anything of us that you have not first given us. Each one of us have a place in your heart. You know us by name and seek us when we cannot see you. Sometimes we get caught up in this world on technology and materialism. Help us to be more focussed on helping one another. How beautiful this world would be if we put others’ needs before our own.

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

Lord, I’m not always eager to do your will. I’d often much rather do my own will. Please be with me on this Lenten journey and help me to remember that your own spirit can guide me in the right direction. I want to “fix” my weaknesses but the task seems overwhelming. But I know that with your help, anything can be done. With a grateful heart, I acknowledge your love and know that without you, I can do nothing.
