A Prayer  of New Beginnings

Spirit of Wisdom and Love, Bless the pupils and teachers returning to school.

Bless those who are making new beginnings; Be with the children and parents during the first  days in primary school.

Help us to build our schools into communities of faith and love.

We prayer that school staff may have a sensitive understanding for children who feel bullied or left out for children and family problems.

Guide teachers to discipline with love.  Help them to combine knowledge with education of the heart, with understanding, reverence and compassion.

May we honour each student as a miracle of God's creation, creating space for mind, body and spirit to grow into fullness of life. Amen
