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 before coming to school one morning each week.

Prayer of the Week

O most holy Heart of Jesus,

fountain of every blessing, 

I love you with this poor heart of mine.  

Make me humble, patient, pure and wholly obedient to your will. 

Grant, Good Jesus, that I may live in you and for you.

Amen.

Scripture of the Week

Matthew 11:25-30

Jesus exclaimed, ‘I bless you, Father, Lord of heaven and of earth, for hiding these things from the learned and the clever and revealing them to mere children. Yes, Father, for that is what it pleased you to do. Everything has been entrusted to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, just as no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.

‘Come to me, all you who labour and are overburdened, and I will give you rest. Shoulder my yoke and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Yes, my yoke is easy and my burden light.’

Reflection

This scene from Jesus of Nazareth combines the above scripture with some of the other key teachings of Jesus. If you listen to these words and ponder their meaning, you will see that they relate to our current times very strongly.
