Good morning ___school name____.

Wherever you are at the building, please stand up for Jesus and join me in the sign of our faith. In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen

Today is the National Day of Mourning.

It is a day in Canada to remember and honor those who have died, been injured or suffered illness in the workplace.

The Day of Mourning, also known as Workers' Memorial Day, and is officially recognized in about 100 countries worldwide.

Please join us in a prayer as we remember those affected by workplace accidents on this National Day of Mourning.

Loving God, we often witness tragedies that do not make sense to us.

Today we remember those who have died or been injured in the workplace.

These men and women are mothers and fathers,

sisters and brothers, sons and daughters,

friends and neighbours.

May the families and friends of these victims

be comforted by the loving support of others.

As we remember the lost and injured, help each of us

to commit to workplace safety and health so that

all places of work are life giving and

free of unnecessary danger.

Protect each of us in our work each day.

We ask this prayer through Jesus, the Risen One.

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen
