DAY 1

MORNING PRAYER

Today we will pray a prayer written by an Ecole St. Mary High School student.  

Dear Lord,

I’d like to pray for the strength

to handle bad situations, mistakes, loss,

and for what we can and what we cannot control

Sometimes bad things happen out of nowhere,

and it can be overwhelming so that we lose sight

of what’s right and what’s wrongPlease Lord,

give us the strength and ability to cope with the bad,

and the knowledge and experience

to help others through their tough timesThrough Christ our Lord

Amen
