It is fitting as we begin a new school year that we reflect on the theme for Catholic Education Week 2020: Igniting the Hope and thank God for the gift of Catholic Education.
God of all that is good,
We give thanks to you today for the many blessings that await us this year. Remind us of the hope that lies within each one of us, and ignite this hope so that we may be a source of light and strength to everyone we meet. Help us to shine with faith and courage. Guide us to reflect your love in all that we say and do. Warm us with the joy that comes from knowing that with you, all things are possible. We look forward to a year full of promise and potential.
We make this prayer in the name of Jesus, our friend and teacher.
Amen.
