Almighty God, we thank you in the freshness of the

morning. We thank you for the gift of life, for our health,
our family and friends and thank you for bringing us in
this gathering safely.
God You said that where two or three or more are
gathered in your name, you would be there with them.
We ask you to be here with us as we gather to listen and
to share ideas about the needs of our children and pupils.
Our work and our lives would be empty without your
loving presence.
Forgive us Lord for the sins we committed and for the
times we fail to listen to Your words and respond to the
needs of others.
Bless us all who gathered here, descend upon us your
Holy Spirit to protect, enlighten and strengthen our
beings and souls. May the purpose of this gathering be
inculcated in our hearts, hands and mind. Touch us that
we may not feel tired in doing our obligation of molding ,
guiding and taking care of the children you entrusted into
our hands. Grant us vigilance and loving hearts always.
May the example of our Mother of Perpetual Help and her
husband St Joseph be our model in loving and rearing up
the children you entrusted to us .
This we ask in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
