Guardian angel prayer
Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God’s love commits me here, ever this day be at my side… to light, to love, to be my guide.
Irish blessing
May God grant you always… a sunbeam to warm you; a moonbeam to charm you; a sheltering angel, so nothing will harm you; laughter to cheer you; faithful friends near you; and, whenever you pray, Heaven to hear you.
Parent’s prayer
Most loving Father, the example of parenthood, you have entrusted our children to us to bring them up for you and prepare them for everlasting life. Assist us with your grace that we may fulfill this sacred duty with competence and love. Teach us what to give and what to withhold. Show us when to reprove, when to praise, and when to be silent. Make us gentle and considerate, yet firm and watchful. Keep us from the weakness of indulgence and the excess of severity. Give us the courage to be disliked sometimes by our children when we must do necessary things which are displeasing in their eyes. Give us the imagination to enter their world in order to understand and guide them. Grant us all the virtues we need to lead them by word and example in the ways of wisdom and piety. One day with them, may we enter into the joys of our true and lasting home with you in heaven. Amen.
St. Bonaventure, 1217-1274
The angels, wherever they may be sent, never stop gazing upon God. In the same way, the virtuous person, as much as he can, always keeps the memory of God in his heart.
St. Francis de Sales, 1567-1622
Make yourself familiar with the angels and behold them frequently in spirit; for without being seen, they are present with you.
St. Thérèse, 1873-1897
God, our Father and Creator through the intercession of St. Thérèse, we ask for insight and wisdom to see the signs of your love in the people and in the events of our lives. May we discern what we have to do as students and give us the strength to do it. Grant us success in our work and examinations. Help us to believe in your great love for each one of us so that we may live in truth and radiate your love in our lives. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
