During Lent, the prayer bags contain a booklet for children and families to write prayers in. Today we have two prayers from Year 4…
Our Dear God
We thank you for such a wonderful day, you’ve provided unto us and we say a big thank you. We ask that you may continue to guide and protect us. Guide our footsteps, keep us free from hate and unkind words.
Amen
Lord
Don’t worry. God is never blind to your tears, never deaf to your prayers and never silent to your pain. He sees, he hears and he will deliver for you. Jesus said ” It’s all right, I’m here. Don’t be afraid”. When I feel scared, I can trust Jesus.
Happy Easter! Alleluia, he has risen! To all of our St Vincent’s family a big happy Easter. We will never forget this Easter. Pray for the world that God can help us to solve the problems facing us.
This is a lovely prayer from CAFOD. Try to say it everyday this week.
Holy Saturday (from the Latin: Sabbatum Sanctum) is the day after Good Friday. It is the day before Easter and the last day of Holy week, in which Christians prepare for Easter. This day commemorates the day that Jesus Christ’s body laid in the tomb.
Jesus is alone in the tomb.
This is a great video of a monk explaining the Easter Triduum.
Tonight is the night of The Easter Vigil. It is the biggest Mass of the Year! Every year we celebrate our faith and renew ourselves at this Mass. This year we will have to do it at home.
Tonight, Jesus is alone in the garden of gethsemane. He is waiting for his fate. He is praying to his father. What he is praying? What is he thinking?
Today or tonight, take some time to prayer and I mean really pray. Pray for the safety of your families. Pray for health workers and their families. Pray for all key workers. Pray for the World.
Today, is one of the holiest days of the year for the Catholic Faith which our school community belongs.
The Gospel acclamation for today sums up our faith.
I give you a new commandment:
love one another just as I have loved you, says the Lord.
Jesus Washes the Disciples’ Feet
Now before the festival of the Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart from this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. The devil had already put it into the heart of Judas son of Simon Iscariot to betray him. And during supper Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going to God, got up from the table,[a] took off his outer robe, and tied a towel around himself. Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel that was tied around him. He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?” Jesus answered, “You do not know now what I am doing, but later you will understand.” 8Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet.” Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no share with me.” Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!” Jesus said to him, “One who has bathed does not need to wash, except for the feet,[b] but is entirely clean. And you[c] are clean, though not all of you.” For he knew who was to betray him; for this reason he said, “Not all of you are clean.”
After he had washed their feet, had put on his robe, and had returned to the table, he said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you? You call me Teacher and Lord—and you are right, for that is what I am. So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have set you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you.
