As we approach the end of another school year, let us pause and give thanks for all that we have received and all the opportunities that await us. During this season of Advent may we take time to pause and reflect on the great wonder of the Christmas story. May God bless you richly throughout this wonderful season.
“I will give thanks to you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds”.
— Psalm 9:1
Prayer
O sweet Child of Bethlehem,
grant that we may share with all our hearts
in this profound mystery of Christmas.
Put into the hearts of men and women this peace
for which they sometimes seek so desperately
and which you alone can give to them.
Help them to know one another better,
and to live as brothers and sisters,
children of the same Father.
Reveal to them also your beauty, holiness and purity.
Awaken in their hearts
love and gratitude for your infinite goodness.
Join them all together in your love.
And give us your heavenly peace.
Amen.
(Pope John XXIII)
