From an old Gaelic Blessing: “May the road rise to meet you May the wind be always at your back May the sun shine warm upon your face May the rain fall soft upon your fields And until we meet again May God hold you in the palm of his hand.”
Prayer for all students and school leavers this summer:
O God of all beginnings and endings, we praise and thank you for the gift of this school year. It has been a time filled with grace and blessings, with challenges and opportunities, joys and sorrows. The days have passed quickly, O Lord. The weeks, the months, the seasons, the holidays and holy days, the exams, breaks, and assemblies. All have come forth from your hand. While we trust that your purposes have always been at work each day, sometimes it has seemed difficult to understand and appreciate just what you have been up to in our school. Give us the rest and refreshment we need this summer.Let our efforts of this past year bear fruit. Bring all of our plans to a joyful conclusion and bless us, according to your will, with the fulfillment of our summer hopes and dreams. Watch over us in the weeks of rest ahead, and guide each day as you have done this past year. For those of us returning, help us come back to school with a new spirit and a new energy. May all of us, including those who have left, continue to grow in wisdom, knowledge and grace all the days of our lives. Amen. (Source Unknown)
