Prayer

Let us pray for the grace and strength to cultivate courage in our hearts and minds, so that we may be empowered to face the challenges and opportunities of the week ahead with confidence and determination. May we draw inspiration from the countless examples of courageous educators who have gone before us, and may we be guided by the values of compassion, justice, and love in all that we do.

May we also pray for the courage to be vulnerable, to open ourselves up to the world around us, and to be instruments of healing and hope in a world that is often filled with fear and uncertainty.

And may we always remember that true courage is not the absence of fear, but the willingness to act in the face of fear, guided by faith, hope, and love.

Amen
