Prayer to Begin the Day
(Sign of the Cross)
As we begin class together, take a moment to thank God for the gift of learning.
Loving God,
You shaped us in your image and likeness
Giving us the gift of intelligence
And the ability to understand the world around us.
Be with us today as we use those gifts to learn and grow.
May all that we do in this classroom be an opportunity to praise You.
St. Hildegard, patron of writers, pray for us.
St. Albert the Great, patron of scientists, pray for us.
St. Barbara, patron of mathematicians, pray for us.
St. Thomas Aquinas, patron of students, pray for us.

Prayer to End the Day
As the school day comes to a close, let’s take a few moments to pray and reflect on our day together.
(Sign of the Cross)
Close your eyes and take a couple deep breaths. Ask the Holy Spirit to be with us as we reflect.
Reflect now silently in your mind, what are 2 or 3 things you’re grateful for today?
Where did you notice God during your day?
What could you have done better? Where do you need God’s help?
Now look toward tomorrow. What are you excited about? What are you nervous about? Share with God what is on your mind.
