During Holy Week we think of the ways that you taught us to serve others and that we need to be open to looking at ways to serve. During this time let us see the little things we do for others as a call to serve and ask for God’s help and strength to keep on serving others as we go through life.
Amen
Jesus, during Your ministry on Earth You showed Your power and caring by healing people of all ages and stations of life from physical, mental, and spiritual ailments. Be present now to people who need Your loving touch because of COVID-19. May they feel Your power of healing through the care of doctors and nurses.
Take away the fear, anxiety, and feelings of isolation from people receiving treatment or under quarantine. Give them a sense of purpose in pursuing health and protecting others from exposure to the disease. Protect their families and friends and bring peace to all who love them. Amen
Dear all,
Today at the start of Holy Week our prayer today has been written by one of our pupils.
Let us pray
A prayer for unity
Dear Lord Jesus, we pray for peace, unity and reassurance, in this time of worry and doubt.
We pray that the vulnerable and sick are protected in their hour of need.
We pray that we can come together as a nation and fight this virus.
The world should not erupt in confusion or despair, but come together in the hope we can solve such problems with God holding each and every one of our hands.
Distress is probably the most common feeling in our world right now and we believe that your power and strength will help us to overcome this terrible feeling.
Please help us to overcome this worldwide problem and find light at the end of the tunnel. Amen
Written by one of our Year 6 pupils
Daily Prayer
“In spite of present sufferings, which can seem overwhelming at times, the flames of hope cannot be extinguished. Love, which gives life its fullest meaning, continues to seek out the common good in spite of individual difficulties.”
Today it seemed appropriate to use part of St Patrick’s Breastplate as our prayer, as if Christ is with us we can show love to the world.
Christ with me,
Christ before me,
Christ behind me,
Christ in me,
Christ beneath me,
Christ above me,
Christ on my right,
Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down,
Christ when I sit down,
Christ when I arise,
Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.

Daily Prayer
Father, we seek Your wisdom daily. Be with people making decisions that affect the lives and futures of our families, communities, countries, and the wider world. We pray that they communicate clearly, truthfully, and calmly — with each other and with the public — and that their messages are received and heeded. May truth and empathy be the touchstones of people setting policies for our protection.
He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us again. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us, as you help us by your prayers …—2 Corinthians 1:10-11 (NIV)
