Thursday, May 12th

 DAY 1

MORNING PRAYER

Today's prayer was written by an École St. Mary High School student. The theme is supporting others. 

Let us remember to show love to our friends, family, loved ones and those who may need extra support from our community. Let us also show love to God for listening to us during our tough times.

Loving God,

We thank you for providing us unconditional love

and forgiving our sins

in order to become closer with you.

Help us continue spreading love through our community

and with our peers

as we face daily temptations.

Thank you for being the light of our world

in times of darkness. 

Through Christ our Lord,

Amen
