shared and everyone can enjoy themselves; a school where tolerance and mutual respect
exist; a school where peace and justice go together,
and justice is guided by love. Give us the inspiration and courage to build a
community of love. Amen.

Today is Rosh Hashanah ~ Jewish new Year
When was the Mother of God born? We can't know for certain, of course, but for almost 15 centuries now, the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary has
been celebrated on September 8. Those who are quick with math have already figured out that September 8 is exactly
nine months after December 8-the feast of
the Immaculate Conception of Mary.
Friday 6th SeptemberTomorrow we remember the birthday of The Blessed
Virgin Mary
Father of mercy,
give your people help and strength from heaven.The birth of the Virgin
Mary's Sonwas the dawn of our
salvation.May this celebration of
her birthdaybring us closer to lasting
peace.Grant this though our Lord
Jesus Christ, Your Son,who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
