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.
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.

maturity to love God fully.
We pray for the poor and suffering for those who suffer
Hardship through life.

Daily Prayer
Tuesday, 31 May 2016 The Visitation of the BVM
Reflection:
In the gospel Mary visits her cousin Elizabeth, who is pregnant with John the Baptist, after the Annunciation. Prompted by the Holy Spirit, Mary’s humble ‘yes’ to God led to her great song of joy, the Magnificat. How can we approach our vocation with that same sense of trust and gladness?
Prayer: (The Magnificat)
My soul glorifies the Lord,
My spirit rejoices in God my Saviour.
He looks on his servant in her lowliness;
Henceforth all generations will call me blessed.
The Almighty works marvels for me.
Holy his name!
His mercy is from age to age,
on those who fear him.
He puts forth his arm in strength
And scatters the proud hearted.
He casts the mighty from their thrones
And raises the lowly.
He fills the starving with good things,
Sends the rich away empty.
He protects Israel, his servant,
remembering his mercy,
the mercy promised to our fathers,
to Abraham and his sons for ever.
Blessed John Henry Newman, Pray for Us.
