Georges Vanier School Prayer
Lord, in the morning as we start this day,
We take a moment to bow and pray.
We start with thanks,
For all your kind and loving ways.
And now as we begin our day,
Watch over us as we work and play.
We ask you to help us respect and love one another,
And all we meet during the day.
Hold our families and school staff in your hands,
As we follow, in your commands.
Teach us to love you more than before,
Through random acts of love and kindness.
Guide us to be like Georges Vanier,
And make a difference by
Helping the poor, the needy, the sick and the homeless.
We ask this through Jesus, Our Lord.
Amen

Month of MARY
O most pure heart of Mary, full of goodness, show your
love towards us. Let the flame of your heart, O Mary,
descend on all people. We love you immensely. Impress
on our hearts true love so that we may long for you. O
Mary, gentle and humble of heart, remember us when
we sin. You know that all people sin. Grant that through
your most pure and motherly heart, we may be healed from every
spiritual sickness. Grant that we may always experience the goodness
of your motherly heart, and that through the flame of your heart we
may be converted. Amen
