Our Prayers
"I will lift up my hands in prayer to the Lord." (Exodus 9:29)
Prayer is an integral part of our daily school life. Through prayer, we can communicate with God and raise our hearts and minds to Him. We can give praise and thanks to Him for the great things He has given us, we can ask forgiveness or we can request good things from Him.

Dearest loving Jesus
Help up to be good
To do the things
And say the things
That all good children should
And if I sometimes slip a bit
And do get out of hand
Then dearest loving Jesus
Help the grown-ups understand
That it isn’t always easy
To be as good as good can be
But I am getting better Lord
Because you are helping me
