DAY 1
MORNING PRAYER
To
continue with our theme of “Celebrating Christ’s Presence”, let us offer this
prayer for today to reflect and make sure we are receptive to Christ’s presence
in our lives.
Loving
God,
Your
son Jesus sent us to grow Your love and share Your word
with all nations of the
world.
Please open our ears, minds and hearts,
so
that we may always be receptive and considering
of Your presence and our
relationship.
This
will allow us to radiate our faith and bring all those around us to You.
Help
us to understand and be receptive of Your presence for us,
as
we embark on this new school year.
We
ask this through Christ, our light in the world.
