We Pray at the Beginning of this school year:
God of wisdom and might, we praise you for the wonder of our being, for mind, body and spirit.
Be with our children as they begin a new school year. Bless them and their teachers and staff.
Give the strength and grace as their bodies grow; wisdom and knowledge to their minds as they search for
understanding, and peace and zeal to their hearts. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
