REC News

Welcome back to the new school year! On Tuesday morning, the teachers began their Professional Development Day, and the new school year, with reflection and prayer. Here is the closing prayer from their reflection time.

We thank you Lord, for all that was good during the summer, for the love of our family and friends, and for the time to do some things we wanted to do. As we begin a new school year we ask for your help and pray for your blessing on everybody in this school. Show us how to work together for the good of all.

Lord God, your Spirit of wisdom fills our lives and teaches us your ways. Look upon our young people. May they enjoy their learning and take delight in new discoveries. Help them to persevere in their studies and give them the desire to learn all things well. Look upon us as we follow in your footsteps as teachers of your words and ways. 

May we strive to share knowledge with gentle patience and endeavour always to bring the truth to eager minds. May we share our talents and abilities to the full and grow in knowledge, wisdom and happiness. Give us the grace to become more like Jesus in the ways we think and behave. During this school year, let us become builders of your ways and instruments of your peace. Show us how to work together for the good of all. We ask this through Jesus, Your Son and the greatest of all teachers.

Amen
