Opening PrayerDear God, We thank You for the gift of our children to raise and teach, their lives to share, their minds to help mould, their bodies to nurture, and their spirits to enrich. Let us never betray their trust, dampen their hopes or discourage their dreams. Help us, dear God, to help these precious children become all You mean them to be. Let Your grace and love fall on them like gentle breezes and give them inner strength, peace and patience for the journey ahead. We make this prayer, through Christ Our Lord, Amen.
