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.

 

  Prayers for the Week 

A Prayer Before Holy Communion

Lord Jesus, 

We come to your sacred table to nourish ourselves, 

not with bread but with Yourself, true Bread of eternal life. 

Help us to recognise and celebrate your presence everyday in our lives. 

Walk with us on our journey of faith  as you once did with the disciples on the road to Emmaus. 

Be with our children as they prepare in this year to encounter you more deeply in the celebration of the Eucharist. 

For the bread that gives everlasting life so that we can love God with all our strength 

WE THANK YOU LORD.

For the wine that gives everlasting joy and strength to serve our brothers and sisters

WE THANK YOU LORD. 

For offering us your body and blood 

WE THANK YOU LORD. 

For the Eucharist that proclaims your glory 

WE THANK YOU LORD.

For you, Christ Jesus, who are always with us 

WE THANK YOU LORD.

 

Amen

 

Please pray for our students in Years 3 and 4 who are preparing to celebrate the Sacrament of First Holy Communion this Sunday 8th September.
