Today, we welcome the beginning of a new school year and ask God's blessing on our participation in this sacred mission of Catholic education here at Cotter Schools:
Prayer for a New School Year
Lord God, your Spirit of wisdom fills the earth
and teaches us your ways.
Bless us as we begin a new year together.
Open our eyes to the love that surrounds us;
Open our ears to the knowledge and truth
within each one of us; and
Open our hearts to the needs of our colleagues, students, community members and friends.
We ask this in Jesus' name ... AMEN.
St. Joseph, patron of Cotter Schools - pray for us.
Live, Jesus, in our hearts - forever.
Blessings on your day!
