Prayer of recommitment to the work of SCIAF
Inspired by the Gospel call to build a just world and moved by the suffering of the world’s poor I renew my commitment to work with SCIAF. For an end to poverty and oppression. Give me a generous heart to share with those who have nothing; The grace to live more simply So that they may simply live; And the perseverance to work unceasingly for a world in which all people, especially those who are poor and oppressed, can live life, and live it to the full. Amen

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

Creator God
Thank you for all you have given us.
Our Beautiful world
The people we know,
The gifts that we have.
But sometimes we can be thoughtless
And we don’t notice what goes on in other people’s lives.
Touch our hearts so that we realise
That sometimes our actions, and inactions,
Can affect the lives of others.
We think of homelessness, poverty, unfair trade, our damaged environment.
Help us to change and work for a world of justice.
We ask this in your name. 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

Loving Creator, you have made us in your image
And we yearn for the healing of all your people.
Fill our hearts with the fire of your love
And our minds with a thirst for justice.
Embolden us to cry out against oppression,
Empower us to work for the coming of your kingdom,
And enrich us with your life-giving spirit
So that all creation may feel your touch and be healed.
We ask this in the name of our crucified, risen Lord,
Our liberator and redeemer, Jesus Christ.
Amen.

School Prayer
Lord, I thank you for bringing me to another day.
I live it completely for You,
Through you,

Today our thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by the tragic events in Dunblane 20 years ago.

Friday has arrived and we are reminded of Lenten promises regarding fasting. Help us keep you in our thoughts and deeds today as we work hard completing another week at school. May our focus be on strengthening our relationship with you through prayer and fasting. The power of prayer and fasting can really have a positive impact on our lives. May we live for You in all we do.

School Prayer

Blessed John Henry Newman, Pray for Us.

Lord of mercy and compassion, look with pity upon me.
Father, let me call Thee Father.
‘Tis Thy child returned to Thee.
Jesus Lord, I ask for Mercy. Let me not implore in vain.
All my sins I now detest them. Never will I sin again.
Edmund Vaughan

School Prayer

Blessed John Henry Newman, Pray for Us.

Sometimes it can seem that we are struggling to fit in all that we have to do each day. Sometimes we have begun our lunch when we realise that we have forgotten about daily mass in the theatre. Or sometimes peer pressure can make rushing for lunch seem more important.

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. Help us to make time to communicate with you each day to give us the strength to continue along our Lenten journey.

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
