Praying Together With Children - 2025

Go forth Let us Pray Saint Thomas Aquinas was a great scholar who helped us understand what we believe. Let us pray for all students. (pause) God of wisdom, in our learning, be our gentle guide and show us the right path. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. The Word of God A reading from the first letter of St Peter (4:10-11) Brothers and sisters: Use your gifts well. If you have the gift of speaking, preach God’s message. If you have the gift of helping others, do it with the strength that God supplies. Everything should be done in a way that will bring honour to God because of Jesus Christ, who is glorious and powerful forever. Amen. The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. Tuesday St Thomas Aquinas 28 January 2025 We reflect St Thomas Aquinas, who we remember today, is the patron saint of students. He was an intelligent and talented student who studied at university for many years and wrote some of the most important books in the Catholic tradition. However, school isn’t always easy... watch this short film on the value of working hard and trying your best. May God give us wisdom, perseverance, and courage in all we do. Amen. May God bless us in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. 2
