Daily Prayer Wednesday, 1 June 2016
Lord,
We give you thanks for our lives, our families and our
Education.
Help us to care for one another,
To help those who teach us and share in our struggles,
To be a living school community.
May we be given the strength to work hard, and the
maturity to love God fully.
We pray for the poor and suffering for those who suffer
Hardship through life.
May we realise how fortunate we are in all we have.
Watch over our community and keep us safe at all times.
Grant us the courage to follow Cardinal Newman our
Patron,
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen
Lord, I thank you for bringing me to another day.
I live it completely for You,
Through you,
With You and in you. Amen
Blessed John Henry Newman, Pray for Us.

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.
Daily Prayer
We bring before the Lord those who have recently been baptised or confirmed – or who are about to be – that they may be true to themselves and may live their faith in a genuine and credible way.
Lord, in your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
Keep all our SQA candidates in your thoughts.
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.

It is with great pleasure that we announce today the date and time of the next Spanish fiesta. It will be based on the celebation of Corpus Christi and the Holy Cross – and particularly in the Cruces de mayo, typical from Spain.
Moreover, this is a special fiesta since it is an occasion to remember our dear Canon Glackin, who, sadly, passed away recently. This fiesta has been organised as a tribute for his memory, given that he was always very gladly involved and committed to everything that could be a joyful and enriching experience for the children and young people of our learning comunity.
