School Prayer
Loving Father,
We thank you for our lives, families, friends and the wonderful world we live in.
We ask St Anthony to help us when we are lost, so that we may find the path back to Jesus.
Help us to always remember Mary Mackillop’s message of never seeing a need without doing something about it.
May we be blessed with Nano Nagle’s courage, to help those less fortunate than us.
We ask the Holy Spirit to guide us in ‘Love and Service’ as we walk with Jesus side by side.
St Mary of the Cross Mackillop - Pray for us.
Nano Nagle - Pray for us.
St Anthony of Padua - Pray for us.
Amen.
