Prayers of the faithful Celebrant: Filled with gratitude to God for his many blessings let us pray for a deeper faith and for the needs of the Church and the world. For the Church founded on faith in Christ, Son of the living God, that she may demonstrate that faith with courage and perseverance in the face of many challenges. Lord, hear us. For those parts of the world suffering because of the effects of climate change that leaders may act with urgency to heal the wounds of creation. Lord, hear us. For those returning to school that the Lord may bless the coming year - that all may grow in knowledge and support of each other. Lord, hear us. For all who suffer sickness or pain, that they may have full healing and comfort with the help of our prayers. Lord, hear us. For the faithful departed, that the Lord may grant them the reward of their labours in this life that they may rest forever in his peace. Lord, hear us. Celebrant: Lord, hear our prayer, strengthen our faith and preserve us by your protecting power from all that would keep us from you. We make these and all our prayers through Christ our Lord. Amen.

A student’s prayer at the beginning of a new school year We give you praise, O God, for everything that is new and beautiful, for everything which holds promise and brings us joy. Bless us as we start this new year with our friends and teachers. Help us to make the most of every chance we have to start afresh. May we show love to one another and to all. May the new beginning of this school year remind us that you give us chances to start over again and again. Help us to forgive others as we receive your forgiveness. Help us to learn and to work together. Help us to listen when we should and to know the best words when we speak and when it is better not to speak. We thank you for our friends. Help us to be good friends this year. Help us to be patient with ourselves and with others. Bless our school and keep us safe. Be with us as we travel each day. Help us to be aware of your love shown to us in the people around us. Bless all those who care for us in school and at home. Help us show our care for them and to say sorry when we need to. May the Blessed Mother Mary protect us and help us to live as well as we can, giving thanks and glory to God as she did. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
