Prayers for our Country
This year our land needs our prayers more than ever in light of the devastating bushfires.
​Revisit the lyrics of the
Australian National Anthem  and the symbolism of the Australian flag. 
Pray a simple Litany for our country 
May all Australian people live in peace. 
Be with us God. 
May all Australian people have access to food and shelter. 
Be with us God May all Australians be caretakers of creation and the land that we call home. 
Be with us God 
Invite students to add to this Litany.

Beginning the School Year
Father in Heaven, Creator of all and source of all goodness and love, please look kindly upon us and receive our heartfelt gratitude in this time of giving thanks.
 
Thank you for all the graces and blessings. You have bestowed upon us, spiritual and temporal: our faith and religious heritage. Our food and shelter, our health, the loves we have for one another, our family and friends.  
Dear Father, in Your infinite generosity, please grant us continued graces and blessing throughout the coming year.  
This we ask in the Name of Jesus, Your Son and our Brother. Amen.

Students Return
Plan for protocols and rituals for prayer with the students and decide on best times to embed prayer and times of silence in to the school day/lesson. 
Pray this short prayer:
We give you praise, O God,  for everything that is new and beautiful,  for everything which holds promise and brings us joy.  Bless us as we start this new year  with our friends and teachers  Help us to make the most of every chance we have to start afresh.  Amen.

Setting up for Prayer
Prepare to create a classroom/homeroom Sacred Prayer Space. This video Prayer Spaces in Schools talks about designing spaces for students to experience prayer in creative and meaningful ways. Keep in mind key symbols e.g. candle, bible, cross or crucifix, icon and liturgical colours. Introduce different additional symbols e.g. flowers, rocks, leaves, oil, water, images, a word or a quote for prayer times depending on the focus so that the prayer space does not become static. 
It is the Church Season of Ordinary Time and the liturgical colour is green. 
The Catholic Church follows a three year cycle of readings. This year is Cycle A and is known as the Year of Matthew.

Names for God
Compile a list of names for God that can be used in classroom prayer e.g. Gentle God, God of new Beginnings, God of Justice, Forgiving God. 
Choose one name for God and invite students to Pray in Colour.
