School Prayers

Prayer for the Assembly

Lord, make us the instrument of your peace;
Where there is hatred may we bring your love;
Where there is malice, may we bring pardon;
Where there is discord may we bring harmony;
Where there is error may we bring truth;
Where there is doubt may we bring faith;
Where there is despair may we bring hope;
Where there is darkness may we bring your light;
Where there is sadness may we bring joy;

O Master, may we seek not so much to be comforted as to comfort.
To be understood as to understand,
To be loved as to love,
For it is in the giving that we receive,
It is in losing our lives that we shall find them,
It is in forgiving that we shall be forgiven,
It is in dying that we shall rise up to eternal life…..AMEN

Prayer Before Class

Eternal God, Creator of all I firmly believe that I am now in Your presence. I adore Your Divine Majesty and ask of You to enlighten my mind that I may know You more clearly and to move my heart that I my love you above all things, and my neighbour for Your sake me that may never in my thoughts words or deeds offend against Your Holy Law.

Prayer after Class

We give you thanks almighty God for all the benefits You have bestowed upon us. O my God I love You with my whole heart and above all things I am heartily sorry for having offended You because You are so good. I firmly resolve not to offend You anymore.
