School Prayers

Please see below a helpful collection of prayers the children say in school that you can use at home with them. The power of prayer is very much at the heart of Holy Cross Primary School.

Father in Heaven you love me ,

You are with me night and day.

I want to love you always,

In all I do or say.

I’ll try to please you Father,

Bless me through this day.

Amen.

Night Prayer

Father in Heaven I come to say,

Thank you for your love today.

Thank you for my family and all the friends you give to me.

Guard me in the dark of night and in the morning send your light,

Amen.

Lenten Prayer

I love these Jesus, m

My love above all things.

I repent with my whole heart for having offended you.

Never permit me to separate myself again.

Grant that I may love you always,

And then do with me what you will.

Hail Mary

Hail Mary, full of grace,

The Lord is with you.

Blessed are you among women,

And blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,

Pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Glory Be

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.

As it was in the beginning is now, and ever shall be,

World without end.

Amen.

Our Father

Our Father, Who art in Heaven,

Hallowed be Thy name;

Thy Kingdom come,

Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread;

And forgive us our trespasses,

As we forgive those who trespass against us;

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

The Memorare

REMEMBER, O most gracious Virgin Mary,

That never was it known,

That anyone who fled to thy protection,

Implored thy help,

Or sought thy intercession was left unaided.

Inspired with this confidence,

I fly to thee,

O Virgin of virgins, my Mother;

To thee do I come;

Before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful.

O Mother of the Word Incarnate,

Despise not my petitions,

But in thy mercy hear and answer me.

Amen.

Hail Holy Queen

Hail, holy Queen,

Mother of mercy, hail, our life, our sweetness and our hope.

To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve:

To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears.

Turn then, most gracious Advocate,

Thine eyes of mercy toward us,

And after this our exile,

Show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus,

O merciful, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary!

Amen.
