 DAY 2

MORNING PRAYER

Today’s prayer was written by an École St Mary High School student.

Heavenly Father,
Sometimes it is hard to have faith.
Sometimes we think we know how things work,
but soon realize we don’t know all things,
and that it is freeing to know that you are in charge
and created all things.

Through Christ our Lord.

Amen
