Jesus, Good Shepherd,

Teach us through your Spirit

to walk your way of light,

to live your way of truth

and in all things to act with love and compassion.

Help us to come to the Father

by knowing you,

loving you and serving you in each other.

May our schools be places of

wonder, learning and peace

where the lessons of today

prepare us for the challenges of tomorrow.

May your Mother, Mary, 

guide our footsteps as she guided yours.

This prayer we make in faith.

AMEN
