Prayers
A Student’s Prayer as School Begins
Holy Spirit, rekindle your graces within us . . .
The gift of WISDOM, not only to learn well what we are being taught in our classes, but also, to see clearly the meaning of the events in our everyday lives.
The gift of UNDERSTANDING about the right way to live amidst peer and cultural pressures and conflicting messages on the media.
The gift of RIGHT JUDGMENT so that we may make those choices which best express the values and love taught by Jesus.
The gift of FORTITUDE so that we might be given the courage to make those “unpopular” decisions that you taught: standing up for those disregarded by others and for the values which Jesus taught.
The gift of KNOWLEDGE to better understand the revelation of Your love in our everyday lives.
The gift of REVERENCE so that we may better grow in our total reliance on You.
The gift of WONDER & AWE so that our eyes and hearts may be opened to see the glory of your presence in all whom we meet and in all of creation.
