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 one morning each week.

Prayer of the Week 

Saturday 28th August was the Feast of St. Augustine

O Lord my God, 

I believe in you, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. 

Insofar as I can, insofar as you have given me the power, I have sought you. 

I became weary and I labored.  

O Lord my God, my sole hope, help me to believe and never to cease seeking you. 

Grant that I may always and ardently seek out your countenance. 

Give me the strength to seek you, for you help me to find you and you have more and more given me the hope of finding you.   

Here I am before you with my firmness and my infirmity. 

Preserve the first and heal the second. Here I am before you with my strength and my ignorance. 

Where you have opened the door to me, welcome me at the entrance; where you have closed the door to me, open to my cry; enable me to remember you, to understand you, and to love you. 

Amen.

Prayer for the Year of St. Joseph

To you,

 O blessed Joseph, 

do we come in our afflictions, 

and having implored the help of your most holy Spouse, 

we confidently invoke your patronage also.

Through that charity which bound you to the Immaculate Virgin Mother of God and through the paternal love with which you embraced the Child Jesus, 

we humbly beg you graciously to regard the inheritance which Jesus Christ has purchased by his Blood, 

and with your power and strength to aid us in our necessities.

O most watchful guardian of the Holy Family, defend the chosen children of Jesus Christ; 

O most loving father, ward off from us every contagion of error and corrupting influence; 

O our most mighty protector, be kind to us and from heaven assist us in our struggle with the power of darkness.

As once you rescued the Child Jesus from deadly peril, 

so now protect God’s Holy Church from the snares of the enemy and from all adversity; shield, too, each one of us by your constant protection, 

so that, supported by your example and your aid, we may be able to live piously, 

to die in holiness, and to obtain eternal happiness in heaven. 

Amen.
