Catholic Schools Week Prayer

Loving God,
You sent your Son, Jesus, to be our hope.
We feel his promised Spirit at work within us;
We recognize his risen presence among us as we gather in his name in prayer,
and celebrate the Eucharist.
He is the hope which inspires us to share as members of the Catholic educational community,
in your church’s mission to announce the Good News to the whole world.
We thank you for the gift of Catholic education.
May it continue to be a place where Christ ignites within us, an abiding confidence, in a future filled with hope.
We make this prayer through the same Christ, our Lord.
Amen.
