Prayer To Begin A School Year

Prayer to Begin a New School Year

Dear God, at the beginning of this new school year we implore Your mercy:
bless the students, teachers, and staff throughout the Diocese of Norwich
that together we may grow in faith, hope, and love
as we learn from You and each other
how to follow Your Son, Jesus.

Expand the horizons of our minds,
that we may grow in wisdom,
understanding, and knowledge;
deepen our commitment to seek the truth of Your ways;
and enliven our faith to reach out to those in need.
Amen
