Last nights Upper School Ceilidh was a fantastic event enjoyed by S5, S6 and attending teachers. The pupils were all beautifully turned out and as expected behaved impeccably. The night began with some very energetic ceilidh dancing and finished with some modern day tunes. Thanks to everyone who came along to support the evening.

Careers Advice
Over the past two days all of S1 have been given advice on possible careers and help to identify their skills and talents. Ruth Robertson of Skills Development Scotland presented information to the pupils, and played a variety of enjoyable and interesting interactive “Skills” games. The results of one game surprisingly showed that many of our talented pupils should be ballet dancers!!!

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.
Daily Prayers – Wednesday, 13th January
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.

Prayer for Tuesday 12 January
Reflection: With the senior pupils of CNHS about to start getting ready for their prelim SQA qualifications, they are beginning to prepare their work and study over notes.
Take a moment and think to yourself, am I giving ‘this’ my all? Could I do more?
Should I watch less television and study a little more?
Could I stop taking my phone out all the time?
Work hard and you will be rewarded.
Prayer: God of Love, you are with us in every transition and change. As we enter into this new era with excitement and even some anxiety, we recall your deep compassion, presence, and abounding love. We thank you for the gifts, talents and skills with which you have blessed us. We thank you for the experiences that have brought us to this moment. We thank you for the work of others that gives breadth and depth to our own work. Be with us as we move forward, rejoicing with you and supporting one another. We ask this in your Holy Name. Amen.
School Prayer

“The more we let God take us over, the more truly ourselves we become – because he made us. He invented us. He invented all the different people that you and I were intended to be. It is when I turn to Christ, when I give up myself to his personality, that I first begin to have a real personality of my own.”
C.S. Lewis
Reflection: Do you allow yourself to be taken over by God? Do you ask for his help and forgiveness in times of struggle, anxiety or when you feel everything in the world is going wrong? In this New Year, talk to god. Ask him to guide you through your troubles. Ask him to help those in need. Then you are opening your mind to his wisdom and way of life.
School Prayer
Lord, I thank you for bringing me to another day.

Through you,
With You and in you. Amen
