PRAY

Daily Morning Offering

Heavenly Father, I praise You and thank You for Your great love, and I lift up this day for Your blessings.  With Your help, I will live today as a responsible, generous and honest person.  Like Jesus, I will try today to treat everyone I meet with dignity and respect.  With Your spirit alive in me, I will witness Your love by thinking of others first and myself last.  Help me today Father, to put into action what I have said in words.  I ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Lunchtime Grace

Bless us, O Lord, and these, Thy gifts, which we are about to receive from Thy bounty. Through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Community Prayer Intentions

Loving Father, Thank you for all who are part of our school. Please grant them your encouragement, wisdom and peace. May many find faith discovering their identity in You and knowing Your amazing grace in their lives. Let us learn to love our neighbors more deeply, so we can all celebrate and partake in the blessings at St. Mary’s Catholic School. Please pour out Your blessings upon our whole school community, and specifically hear the following prayer intentions:

  • That in union with all the saints, the Church on earth may be a faithful bride and servant of her Lord Jesus Christ.
  • Lord Jesus, send your Holy Spirit upon our preparations this Advent season to celebrate your birth at Christmas.
  • Help us increase our attentiveness to what truly matters during this time of year, without being distracted by trivial or materialistic things.
  • We pray for the grace to be able to rest, become aware of God’s presence, and enjoy it.
  • We pray for You to lead us to peace in all situations, no matter what the circumstances.
  • We pray for joy and a sense of humor.
  • We pray for a genuine awareness of God’s grace in our lives and the humility to extend grace to others.
  • For the prayer intentions held privately and silently in the hearts of our students, teachers, staff, and families.

If you would like the St. Mary’s Community to pray for you, please submit your prayer intentions here.
