A Prayer for the School Day
Dear Lord, We thank you for this new school day and everything it has to offer. We ask that you give us the strength and courage to do our daily tasks with a positive attitude and an eagerness to learn.
Guide us through each lesson and help us understand complex topics that may come our way by giving us the grace we need to remember and retain the knowledge.
As we come together from different backgrounds, please help us to respect each other’s differences and work as a team towards academic success.
Give us patience and grace when we face challenges in class and equip us with the tools needed to find solutions. Let us be united no matter the situation and never fear being wrong in our answers.
We thank you. Amen.

St Thomas Aquinas Prayer before study
Come, Holy Spirit, Divine Creator, the true source of light and fountain of wisdom. Pour forth your brilliance upon my intellect, dissipate the darkness which covers me, that of sin and of ignorance.

Guide the beginning of my work, direct its progress, and bring it to successful completion.
This I ask through Jesus Christ, true God and true man, living and reigning with You and the Father, forever and ever. Amen.

An Athlete’s Prayer Before Practice
Most Glorious Heavenly Father, How great thou art! As we begin practice today, seeking to improve our physical strength, skill, knowledge of the game, and to grow in camaraderie as a team, we ask You to watch over us; that we may be free from injury, that we may grow in inner strength and endurance, that we may learn to love and support our teammates and coaches more, seeing them through the eyes of Your infinite love, and that we may glorify You in everything we do. We ask all this for Your greater glory, that the work we do here may serve our greater purpose of serving You, that by growing in physical virtue we may grow in spiritual virtue, and that this athletic journey will help us in our ultimate journey towards union with You in heaven. We ask all this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Children’s Prayer For Parents
Dear Lord! Fill our parents with Thy choicest blessings;
enrich their souls with Thy holy grace;
grant that they may faithfully
and constantly guard that likeness to Thy union with Thy Church,
which Thou didst imprint upon them on their wedding day.
Fill them with Thy spirit of holy fear,
which is the beginning of wisdom;
inspire them to impart it to their children.
May they ever walk in the way of Thy commandments,
and may we their children be their joy on earth
and their crown of glory in heaven.
Finally, Lord God, grant that both our father and mother
may attain to extreme old age
and enjoy continuous health in mind and body.
May they give Thee abundant thanks
because Thou bast bestowed upon them the great gift of parenthood.
Amen.
A Child’s Morning Prayer
Lord, I awake and see your light,
For You have kept me through the night,
To You I lift my hands and pray,
Keep me from sin throughout this day,
And if I die before it’s done,
Save me through Jesus Christ, Your Son.
A Child’s Prayer
O Almighty God,
who hast given unto me my father and mother,
and made them to be an image of Thine authority,
and love, and tender watchfulness;
and hast commanded me to love, and honour,
and obey them in all things:
give me grace cheerfully and with my whole heart
to keep this Thy law.
Help me to love them fervently,
to honour them truly,
to yield a ready obedience to their commands,
to comply with their wishes,
to study their happiness in everything,
and to bear their rebukes with patience and humility.
Deliver me O God, from pride,
rebellion and wilfulness,
from passion and stubbornness,
from sloth and carelessness.
Make me diligent in all my duties and studies,
and patient in all my trials;
that so living, I may deserve to be Thy child,
who art our Father in Heaven.
Amen.
