Lectio of Nature
Take a walk around your school to see if you recognise God in the surroundings. Using your iPad take a photo of something that has captured your attention. Spend time reflecting on the meaning of this image for you. What is God saying to you through this image? What is your reply or prayer to God who loves you?

Peace
Almighty God, from whom all thoughts of truth and peace proceed, kindle in the hearts of all men the true love of peace, and guide with Your pure and peaceable wisdom those who make decisions for the nations of the earth; that in tranquility Your kingdom may go forward, till the earth be filled with the knowledge of Your love; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Image: Pier - SplitShire - https://pixabay.com/images/id-407252/ |

Grace
Why not share grace before meals with your class today. It is the concept of gratitude we need to impart, not exact words. Therefore, you may have your own prayers before meals. Creator God, this meal is a sign of your love for us: bless us and bless the food we are about to eat. Help us to give you praise each day through our actions. We make our prayer in Jesus’ name, Amen. Image: Holding hands - Godsgirl_madi - https://pixabay.com/images/id-752878/ |

Saint Monica
Saint Monica was an early Christian saint and the mother of St. Augustine. She is remembered and honored in the Catholic and Orthodox Churches, for being a wonderful Christian, and for her prayerful life. Loving God, through Saint Monica, you teach us to be patient and faithful in prayer. May her example help us to love you more. Image: Peggy Roe, Brisbane Catholic Education |

Daffodil Day
See the website for ideas about how to be involved in Daffodil Day if it is appropriate. Prayer is one way you can show support for those who have cancer. Loving God, source and destiny of all life, we ask for your gentle and comforting presence for those who struggle with illness. Give them, we pray, the courage and hope of faith in your promises. Be near to their families and give them the grace of your peace. We ask this prayer in Jesus’ name, Amen. Creative Commons image by Sabrina S. Used with permission. 2.0 Generic (CC BY-NC-ND 2.0) |
