Faith Connections

St. Augustine's School Prayer

Our Father in Heaven,

Look over and bless St. Augustine’s while we are working and playing.

Help us to respect and care for each other as you taught us to.

Give us the opportunity to do our best for you each day.

We look forward to being able to share our lives with our friends and families.

Keep us safe and give us the courage to be

people who want to know you more.

 

Amen.

I invite all families to pray this prayer at home, maybe before coming to school one morning each week.

Prayer of the Week

Oh, Lord our God, Saints Peter and Paul steered the early Church by Your Power and were leaders who modelled and strengthened the faith of the Church. 

Therefore I ask Saints Peter and Paul to pray for my faith to grow stronger and stronger everyday.

I plead with Saints Peter and Paul to pray for me to become mature spiritually. 

Wherever I become an infant in my relationship with You, weak and uncertain, help me, O Lord, to increase in faith and trust.

Dear Lord, Enkindle Your fire that flickers inside me and let it become a big flame that brightens other people’s lives. 

Saints Peter and Paul, pray for me. 

 

Amen.

 

Monday 29th June is the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul

 

Scripture of the Week

Matthew 16:13-19

 

When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi he put this question to his disciples, ‘Who do people say the Son of Man is?’ And they said, ‘Some say he is John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.’ ‘But you,’ he said, ‘who do you say I am?’ Then Simon Peter spoke up, ‘You are the Christ,’ he said, ‘the Son of the living God.’ Jesus replied, ‘Simon son of Jonah, you are a happy man! Because it was not flesh and blood that revealed this to you but my Father in heaven. So I now say to you: You are Peter and on this rock I will build my Church. And the gates of the underworld can never hold out against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven: whatever you bind on earth shall be considered bound in heaven; whatever you                                                                                           loose on earth shall be considered loosed                                                                                             in heaven.’
