 MORNING PRAYER

Today’s prayer was written by an École St. Mary High School student. It is about the theme of thanksgiving.

Loving God,

We pray today in thanksgiving for everything you have done.

Your suffering, death, and resurrection give us hope in life.

You help us through our hardest times.

Thank you for giving us faith and watching over us.

We ask for you to continue to guide us,

 as we grow and develop as followers of you.

We ask this through Christ our Lord, 

Amen
