Prayer
Loving and merciful God,
As we prepare to step away from the busyness of our school days,
we pause in gratitude for the journey we have walked together.
You have guided us through moments of learning, challenge, and growth,
always calling us to be people of compassion, justice, and courage.
In the spirit of Catherine McAuley,
may we carry the warmth of Mercy in our hearts—
ready to serve, ready to listen, ready to hope.
As pilgrims of hope,
may we never be afraid of the unknown.
Let the days ahead be a time to breathe deeply,
to rest in Your presence,
and to find renewal in stillness, in nature, and in the love of those around us.
Bless our students, staff, and families with safety, peace, and joy.
Reignite in us a passion for learning, for kindness,
and for the work of building a better world when we return.
We ask this in Jesus' name,
Amen.
