Prayer and Acknowledgement

A Prayer for Our School Community

Loving God,

Thank You for guiding our St Brendan’s community throughout this year.

Bless our students, families, and staff as we continue our journey as Pilgrims of Hope.

May our hearts stay open to Your presence and

our hands ready to serve in the spirit of Mercy.

Watch over all families this Christmas,

especially those receiving our Giving Tree gifts, and

fill their homes with peace, comfort, and joy.

Amen.

God of Love,

Your son, Jesus, is your greatest gift to us.

He is a sign of your love.

Help us walk in that love during the weeks of Advent,

As we wait and prepare for his coming.

We pray in the name of Jesus, our Savior.

Amen.

Lord God,

may we, your people,

who look forward to the birthday of Christ experience the joy of salvation and

celebrate that feast with love and thanksgiving.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

All-powerful God,

your eternal Word took flesh on our earth when

the Virgin Mary placed her life at the service of your plan.

Lift our minds in watchful hope to hear the voice which

announces his glory and open our minds to

receive the Spirit who prepares us for his coming.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

St. Brendan's Primary School acknowledges and

pays respect to the Yorta Yorta Nation,

as the original ongoing custodians of

the land we meet on.

We commit ourselves to actively working alongside

Aboriginal people for reconciliation and justice.
