Today we begin second semester! We are reminded of the many blessings in our lives and the generosity of all those who support Cotter Schools in so many ways. We are a blessed community. Please join us as we pray for an openness to God's spirit and direction in our lives in the coming semester:
Prayer to Begin a New Semester
Lord, as we prepare for the coming of a new semester, make us ready, attentive and available to hear you.
Thank You for the gift of being able to rise each day with the assurance that You walk through it with us.
Thank You for the gifts of creativity and uniqueness,
and the energy to put them to good use.
May all that we are today, all that we try to do today,
may all our encounters, reflections, even the frustrations
and failings be placed in your hands.
May the work we do and the way we do it, bring new hope, new life, and courage to all we come in contact with this semester.
We thank you, Lord. Amen.
St. Joseph, patron of Cotter Schools - pray for us.
Live, Jesus, in our hearts - forever.
Blessings on your day!
