Prayer for the new school year


God of this year, we are walking into mystery. We
face the future, not knowing what the days and
months will bring to us or how we will respond. Be
love in us as we journey. May we welcome each special
child who comes our way. Deepen our faith to see all
of life through your eyes. Fill us with hope and an
abiding trust that you dwell in us amidst all our joys
and sorrows. Thank you for the treasure of our faith
life. Thank you for the gift of being able to rise each
day with the assurance of your walking through the
day with us as we see these children through the
school year. God of this new year, we praise you.
Amen.
About the Teachers

be teaching on Fridays while I intern with Mr. Fitzpatrick
