Dear Parents,
Through prayer, we build our individual relationship with God. As we met this past week with a group of Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten Parents for Tuesday Talks, they requested a list of common prayers that are used in the classroom on a daily basis.
In the book,
Walking with Saint John Paul II, 30 Days with a Great Spiritual Leader, Saint John Paul II discusses prayer in terms of daily reflection. Each daily reflection is accompanied by a Scripture passage (for further reflection), a prayer, and a suggested practice. I wanted to share with you one such reflection in prayer:
Scripture
“Pray in the Spirit at all time, using every prayer and application. To that end, keep alert and don’t stop trying.”
Ephesians 6:18
Prayer
“Beloved God, teach me how to “pray in the Spirit at all times,” not just for my needs but because I love you, praise you, and thank you. Help me to take away from my parish community all that it teaches me in its “school of prayer,” especially all the Eucharist, my meeting tie with Christ. May my prayer be ardent and genuine, and may I remember to pray daily. Amen “
Practice
“I will try today to make prayer a priority, even if I only have time to say, “Holy Spirit, teach me how to pray.”
Thank you parents for requesting a list of prayers to remind us the value of prayer.
Our Father
Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day
our
daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, Amen.
Birthday Blessing
Loving God, you created all the people of the world, and you know each of them by name. We thank you for _______, who today celebrates his/her birthday. Bless him/her with your love and friendship that he/she may grow in wisdom, knowledge, and grace. May he/she love his/her family always and be faithful to his/her friends. Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Final Blessing
Go Now, live the day, and do what you can. For the Glory Of God. Amen
God Bless,
Principal Drabek
