Prayers

Prayer is an important part of our school life. Our children recognise the importance of dedicating time to speak with God throughout our days. They also understand there are many different types of prayer and they feel comfortable using different prayers. We regularly say traditional prayers in school, but our children also have many opportunities to write and share their own prayers. We begin the day with prayer and our Spiritual Leaders regularly lead this prayer time with different year groups.

Children have the opportunity to dedicate our prayers to their own personal intentions. Children have reflection time after their prayers to give them the opportunity to speak to God in their own words.

“I used to believe that prayer changes things, but now I know that prayer changes us, and we change things.”

Mother Teresa

These are some examples of prayers in our school.

ST VINCENT’S PRAYER

St Vincent please help us to care, love and respect all others in the world.

To do our best in all that we do, in our work, in our friendships and in our families.

Help us to love God and all that He has given us.

Amen

 

MORNING PRAYER

Lord

Help me to remember

that nothing is going to happen to me today

that you and I together can’t handle

Amen

 

LUNCHTIME PRAYER

Bless us, Oh God, as we sit together.

Bless the food we eat today,

bless the hands that made the food,

bless us, Oh God

Amen

 

END OF THE DAY PRAYER

Now the day has ended

and our work is done,

thank you Father

for looking after us,

each and everyone.

Amen

 

In addition to the school’s own prayers, our children regularly pray some of the traditional prayers:

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be, Apostle’s Creed, Act of Contrition.
