Friday Morning Homeroom Prayer

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

5th station: Simon helps Jesus carry the cross

Life has many moments of joy, comfort and encouragement. People have the capacity for compassion. Solidarity is a beautiful virtue. This station calls us to concrete action; to help those affected by pain, hurt, poverty, and loneliness. This station calls us to look around to see who is suffering and to offer our help to those in need.

Jesus, Thank you this day the gifts that we have been given. Give us sensitive hearts with the capacity to value and respect those around us. Give us sympathetic hands to extend those who are in need in our own community and around the world. Jesus, bless the students and staff who are reaching out today by participating in the 24 hour fast. Amen

Blessed Mother Teresa…pray for us

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
