Season of Creation-Diocesan School Prayers

Published: September 28, 2020

In a change from our usual Thought for the week, we are sharing Season of Creation Prayers  from our diocesan schools. The prayers were presented at the Diocesan Mass for the start of the new school year, celebrated by Bishop McKeown, in Saint Eugene’s Cathedral on Friday 25th September. Our prayers today are from Saint Patrick’s College, Dungiven and Saint Brigid’s Primary School, Lavey.

Saint Patrick’s College, Dungiven-Erin

God our Creator,

we thank you for the world you have created to serve all our needs.

For the light of day to make us happy and bright,

and the darkness of the night to give us peace and rest.

For the land where all kinds of plants can grow and animals can live in harmony.

For the water filled with every kind of beautiful living creature.

And most importantly for us, human beings to help you care for everything on earth.

God our Creator,

you are the maker of all life.

You have made us in your own image and likeness.

Grant us the grace to respect and care for all your creations,

Amen.

Saint Brigid’s Primary School, Lavey-Cathal

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank you for creating the animals of the planet.

Thank you for creating the people of the planet.

Thank you for creating the planet that we live on.

But most of all..

Thank you for creating me.

Amen
