Welcome to Room 225 Prayer Service There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free,
there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ
Jesus. - Galatians 3:28 Welcome Everyone! As we begin a new school
year, we are reminded that each of us, with our strengths and
needs, is created in the image of God. Let us always work to value
each and every member of our school community every day through
action.

Opening Prayer Lord of all kindness, we ask your blessing for
children who have special needs. We ask for their comfort when
difficulties arise. May they experience joy if they ever feel
abandoned. May they be blessed with strength to overcome
challenges. May they be blessed with friendship to allow them to
grow in love. Lord, we pray for all of our children, that they may
realize their dreams and live their lives in the fullness of your
love and mercy. May the healing touch of mercy be there for our
children. Let our hands be your hands, our words be your words and
let your mercy flow through all of us. We pray in the name of
Jesus. Amen
Slide 5
Reading A reading from the book of Genesis 1:26-27. Then God
said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and
let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the
sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every
creeping thing that creeps on the earth." God created man in His
own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female. He
created them. The Word of the Lord. Response: Thanks be to God
Slide 6
Reflection How does this image appreciate our likeness in the
Image of God? How can teachers and students show their appreciation
for each other in the classroom?
Slide 7
Prayer of the Faithful Let us pray for the Church. That we walk
together in community to spread love to each other as God intended.
We pray to the Lord. Lord, hear our prayer. Let us pray for the
World. That we are all guided by compassion and justice in our
lives and actions. We pray to the Lord. Lord, hear our prayer. Let
us pray for the school community. That we reflect our Catholic
values in attending to each other. We pray to the Lord. Lord, hear
our prayer. For all our intentions, We pray to the Lord. Lord, hear
our prayer. Let us unite all our prayers with the prayer of Jesus,
using the words He gave us: Our Father
Slide 8
Closing Prayer God of friendship and love, help us to always
treat others With love and respect, for we know that Jesus calls us
to love others as we love ourselves. May he walk with us every day
and guide us in our relationships. May we always appreciate the
wonderful gift of our friends. We ask this through your Son, Jesus.
Amen.
