PRAYER AT THE BEGINNING OF A NEW SCHOOL YEAR
Gracious and loving God, we ask you to send your Holy Spirit upon our parish at the beginning of a new school year to fill us with love. Make us instruments of your love to everyone that we encounter at home, at work, in our neighborhoods, and in our parish community.
Work through us so that we can bring your truth to those who are searching for you.
Help us to grow in gratitude so that we can recognize and thank you for all the good things you have given us.
Instill in us a deep sense of generosity so that we are willing to share our gifts, our talents, our time, and our financial recourses.
Deepen our desire to follow your will and to do all things for your honor and glory, We ask this through Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior. Amen.
