 MORNING PRAYER

Today’s prayer was written by an École St Mary High School student. Reflecting on faith can be a difficult thing to do. Faith seems so personal, yet guides the decisions we make in life. Help us to remember how important faith is in our lives. 

Dear Lord,

Thank you for giving us your beloved son, Jesus.

Thank you for the graces in life,

especially for forgiving us our sins.

Help everyone to continue to follow your message.

Thank you for giving us the blessing of life.

Give me patience and hope in life.

Through Christ our Lord,

Amen
