Prayer

Loving God,

We thank you for the gift of a new school year.  Guide and protect our children and fill their hearts with joy, curiosity, and a love for learning. Help them to be kind and respectful to their educators, their families and their peers. Grant that they may grow in wisdom, courage, and patience throughout this year.

Bless their minds with understanding, their hearts with compassion, and their hands with creativity. Help them to remember that they are never alone because you are always with them.

May this school year be one of growth, friendship, and discovery.

We ask this prayer through Christ our Lord

Amen.
