Georges Vanier School Prayer
ALLELUIA….ALLELUIA
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 aVISIT
difference by
Helping the poor, the needy, the sick and the homeless.
We ask this through Jesus, Our Lord.
