Prayer for Catholic Schools

Dear Jesus,
let your light shine in our Catholic schools.
Let your grace rain down,
bringing hope to each person we encounter,
bringing wisdom to our teachers
and leaders,
bringing strength in times of trial.
Protect us from harm.
Let the children come to You,
for the kingdom of God is theirs.
St Thomas Aquinas,
patron saint of Catholic schools,
pray for us.
Amen
