DAY 1
MORNING PRAYER
Today’s
prayer was written by an École St Mary High School student. It is about the theme of God's love.
Dear God,
You have shown your people how to love.
You have told us to love everyone and everything you
have created.
If we don’t meet your expectations of love,
remind us to or help us to be better at it.
We give thanks to you, O Lord,
for helping us to set up our foundations of love.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen
