DAY 1

MORNING PRAYER

Today’s prayer was written by an École St. Mary High School student.   

Lord God,

School is not always easy.

Some days it is very difficult,

and I struggle to relax and be at peace.

Yet I know that you will give me patience, wisdom, and courage,

to be excellent in every way,

and that you will help me to love others,

as you love me.

Amen
