You are good and wise
I will praise you when I rise.
Jesus, hear this prayer I send
Bless my family and my friends.
Jesus, help my eyes to see
All the good you send to me.
Jesus, help my ears to hear
Calls for help from far and near.
Jesus, help my feet to go
In the way that You will show.
Jesus, help my hands to do
All things loving, kind, and true.
Jesus, guard me through this day
In all I do and all I say.
Amen.
Round this table, here to pray
First we thank you for the day
For our family and our friends
Gifts of grace that heaven lends
Living water, daily bread
Countless blessings our God sends
Thank you, Jesus, for them all
For the great ones and the small
When we're happy, when we're sad
On the good days and the bad
We are grateful, we are glad
Amen.
We give you our school.
We give you all the teachers and staff who work here,
We give you all the children who study here.
We pray our school would be place of great discovery,
adventure and creativity.
May it be a place where we love to learn and where we
learn to love,
A place where every one is respected and all are deeply
valued.
We ask all this through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Thank you for my family,
For hugs and kisses and special times together.
Thank you for my friends,
For laughter and chatting and sharing.
Thank you for my home,
For rest times, bath times and bed times.

For breakfast, lunch and dinner and snacks and treats.
Thank you for playtimes,
For toys and games and books.

And for helping me to enjoy them all.

Father in heaven,
We thank you for the amazing, beautiful world you
created. Help us to care for it.

Thank you for my teacher who
is nice and funny and kind.
They could be doing lots of
other jobs. But I suppose she
wants to teach children like me. I
think that is great. Please
give lots of good blessings to
my teacher. And help all of
the students to be good and
to pay attention and enjoy learning
Amen.
Lord Jesus,
Thank you for my friends,
for the games and fun that we play,

for the laughs and giggles,
for the good times and bad.
Please help me to be a good friend to them.
Amen.
Merciful Lord, we bring before You today all students with learning disabilities, including those with dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD, dysgraphia, and processing deficits. Help them from becoming overly frustrated with their disability and develop the virtue of patience with themselves and others. May they be blessed with a compassionate support system of parents, teachers, and administrators. We pray that these students may find methods that will enable them to acquire a love of learning and the joy of discovering new things. Our Lady, Seat of Wisdom, we pray that you will intercede and pray for all those with learning disabilities so that they will follow God's will for their lives and rest in His Heart always. Amen.
