God, may my words be full of wisdom and my thoughts be full of love on this beloved day. May the sun shine down on me and enlighten my words and thoughts. May my words and thoughts be as clear as the sky. May my words and thoughts be beautiful like the song of the birds. May my words and thoughts be as colorful as the flowers. Oh God, bless my words and thoughts.

Lord, our God, we pray that you may bestow us with the gift of unity as we are separated from our community this summer. Whenever we are apart, help us to remember that we will know we always have a home at our Holy Child school. Lord, we pray that you may guide us to be the best versions of ourselves for the next school year and that we may all come together.

Heavenly Father,
You sent your Son to earth to spread his eternal grace
and loved the world so much, you gave us your son
Almighty God
You suffered and endured through death then resurrection
For our sins and unholy words
Your word is living and active
Your commandments we now live by
Thank you, God for giving us a chance to spread your will and not hide.
Amen.

Let the heavens rejoice as we sing this praise
O, God King of Kings Lord of Lords
Please help us to be kind and compassionate.

In all our walks of life please give us the fruits of the Holy Spirit
And the armor of God to help us battle the turmoil of life
In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
