Rosary from Living Rosary Celebration

We have a tradition at our school to recite a Living Rosary at Church. This month 500 of our our students gathered with our parish priest, teachers, and parents for this special celebration to honor Mary.  Students from all grade levels k-8 have the opportunity to lead the prayers of the rosary. Selected students hold roses for each prayer and after the prayer is said, students place their rose in a vase.  This photo was taken after the Living Rosary as we were walking back to school.

The Blessing of the Rosaries

Father came to visit our class to bless our new Twine Rosaries. He blessed them with Holy Water. He actually blessed the water in this bucket before us. He also taught us why he added salt to the water. We learned that the Holy Water 'flinger' is called the Aspergillum. Father reminded us to bless ourself whenever we have Holy Water.

Prayer for Peace

Dear God, pray for an end to the violence in the world specifically the violence in the Middle East, including Syria and Egypt.  May there be peace in these troubled areas of the world and there be an end to the suffering and death to the citizens in these countries.  We pray for happiness and love in the lives of people currently living in the war torn areas of the world.  We pray for this with all our hearts.   

Prayer

Lord, please help all those in trouble with their country. I hope they will be okay and will have no more problems then they do. Please help the family's with their Heath and safety. Please send them hope and love and guide them to peace. I hope everyone will have the comfort they need. I pray they will find their loved ones, end their hunger, and find peace, hope, and love in their lives.

 ~Amen

Peace Prayer

I pray for peace in the middle east and that no more deaths will happen in these war torn countries.  I also pray that the U.S never forgets 9/11 and continues to pray for the people who passed away on 9/11.

Prayer for Peace

Dear God,

I pray that the world will for once come to peace and that there will be no more wars and fighting. I have a special prayer for those in Syria that are struggling to live normal lives while the civil war is occurring in their country. I pray that the chemical warfare will end in Syria. No more lives need to be taken from the innocent. Finally, I pray that all of the other war stricken countries can find peace and the help they need to live normal lives. Thank you God for listening to my prayer and I truly do wish for peace.

Amen,

Prayer for Peace

Dear God

Please grant peace to all the world. Especially those in war-torn countries. God grant peace in Syria. Help the women and children there. Lord may you guide the leaders, of the countries in the Middle East and all of the world, that they make wise choices to protect the lives of their innocent civilians. God send the Holy Spirit's strength and wisdom to those who have to fear their lives everyday because of violence. God grant us peace here in our communities too, so that we may all be peaceful and kind to one another. Thank you God for the peace that you grant us every single day.  Amen.
