We begin our prayer, In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Let us pray:

Loving God,

Help us to embrace your truth;

Your love;

Your wisdom.

Teach us to embrace hope and commitment

and live our lives into the future.

God of Light and Wisdom,

thank you for giving us

minds that can know,

hearts that can love,

and Catholic Schools in which

faith, hearts and minds become one!

Help us to keep learning every day of our lives--

no matter what the subject may be.

Let us be convinced that all knowledge leads to you

and let us know how to find you and love you in all the things You have made.

Encourage us when the studies are difficult

and when we are ready to give up

Help us bring a deep commitment

and sense of responsibility to our studies.

Enlighten us when our brains are slow

and help us to grasp the truth held out to us.

Give us the grace to put faith and knowledge to use

in building a civilization of love

which is Your Kingdom on earth

Amen. 

Today, the National Child and Youth Mental Health day so we keep in our prayers all struggling with mental health.

This weekend is Mothers' Day, and we pray for all mothers and those desiring to be a mother.

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

Mary, the Mother of God …  pray for us.
