Pray With Us

We will do our best to post the daily prayer every school day that a prayer is read to the student body, but please be aware that there may be some days where circumstances may prevent us from posting.

Daily Prayer for 1-26-12:

We begin our day at Rosary as we begin all things: In the name of the Father, And of the Son, And of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

During this Reverence for Life week, we pray that the death penalty in our country will be turned upside down. We pray this morning in the words of Sr. Helen Prejean:

God of compassion,

You let your rain fall on the just and the unjust

Expand and deepen our hearts

So that we may love as you love,

Even those among us

Who have caused the greatest pain – by taking life.

For there is in our land a great cry for vengeance

As we fill up death rows and kill the killers In the name of justice…in the name of peace.

Jesus, our brother,

You suffered execution at the hands of the state,

But you did not let hatred overcome you.

Help us to reach out to victims of violence

So that our enduring love may help them heal.

Holy Spirit of God,

You strengthen us in the struggle of justice.

Help us to work tirelessly for the abolition of state-sanctioned death

And to renew our society in its very heart so that violence will be no more

For our legislators, that they will work towards an end to the death penalty in our country, we pray LORD, HEAR OUR PRAYER

For our junior class on retreat today, may they come to discover the special young women God calls them to be, we pray LORD, HEAR OUR PRAYER

For those visiting our school today, may they discover our community is a place of welcome, we pray LORD, HEAR OUR PRAYER

For those celebrating birthdays today, we pray LORD, HEAR OUR PRAYER

For the prayers written in our school prayer book and the prayers we hold in the quiet of our hearts, we pray LORD, HEAR OUR PRAYER

We ask you to make our day holy as we sign ourselves with the sign of our faith and the words of the Dominican blessing:

May God, Creator bless us
May God, Redeemer heal us
May the Holy Spirit enlighten us and give us all we need.
Amen.
