Opening Prayer

Welcome and Prayer

Lord,

I believe that each of my students is your child.

I believe that they are a reflection of your love.

I believe that each child possesses special gifts and talents, that you are entrusting me to help them discover these gifts.

I believe that each child is trying to find you and that I can be a model of how to look, how to live, how to pray.

I believe that my job is actually a mission, a ministry; that you have chosen me in this time and in this place to be there for these kids.

I believe that there is nothing haphazard about my day, about my experiences with my students or with their parents.

It is all part of your plan.

I believe that you have chosen me, Lord.

Lord, I believe.

~ St. John Bosco
