PRAYER

 Dear Lord, as we begin this new school term, we gather once again as 

your community of believers.  We thank you for the energy and spirit 

that you renewed in us throughout our holidays. 

We thank you for the time to enjoy our family and friends and to reflect on what is important in our lives. Let this year be marked by enthusiasm and love so that, with the inspiration of your Spirit, we may continue to grow in our faith. 

Help us to fulfil Your hope for us with honest intentions and works of faith. 

Let us be gentle with ourselves and bring laughter, joy and love to others. 

We ask this in your name.  

Amen

St Norbert, pray for us
