Prayer to End the School Year

Let us put ourselves in the presence of the Lord. In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit…

As the school year draws to an end…

we give thanks to God:

For all the teaching and learning

that have taken place in our school,

both in and out of the classroom,

For the talents and gifts that have been shared

and the challenges that have been faced

For the burdens that have been lifted

and the hurts that have been healed

For the respect and care that have been given.

We give thanks for the friendships that have just begun

and for those that have grown.

For the faith that has been lived in our daily struggles,

For the hope, on the low days, that has lifted our hearts

And for the love that has kept us going.

We give thanks for our school,

for our teachers,

for our classmates and schoolmates

a family  that we are

 we ask you Lord – that as we take our vacation,

may this time leave us with memories to cherish.

Pour out your love on us

that we may return renewed and refreshed

to continue our journey for the next school year

We make this prayer through Christ our Lord.

Amen
