- In addition to prayer, we can keep holy the Lord’s Day by doing works of mercy. Here are some things you can do even when you cannot gather with others: write a note or call a friend or family member who might feel lonely; donate money to organizations assisting those in need; make mealtimes this day more special; read or create something beautiful (D. Macalintal, Liturgy.Life)

A Short School Prayer
Almighty God,
We thank you for all the teachers and staff who work here,
We thank you for all the children who study here.
We pray our school is a place of great discovery, adventure and creativity.
May it be a place where we love to learn and where we learn to love,
A place where everyone is respected and all are deeply valued.
We ask all this through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Morning Prayer - School
Heavenly Father, of Light and Wisdom,thank you for giving me a mind that can learn and a heart that can love.
Father, help me to keep learning every day of my life,no matter what the subject may be.
Let me be certain that all knowledge leads to you.
Also, let me know how to find you and love you in all the things you have created.
Lord, encourage me when the studies are hard and when I am tempted to give up.
Guide me when my brain is slow and help me to grasp the truth held out to me.
Give me the grace to put my understanding to good use in building the kingdom of God on earth so that I may enter the kingdom of God in heaven.
Amen.”
