Pax Christi.

Tomorrow, January 23rd, I will fast and pray for Catholic elementary schools, including our local school.

Any prayers and encouragement appreciated.

God bless.
 
I can’t join you in the fast (from food), but I will choose a suitable penance and join you in prayer! 👍
 
:signofcross: Heavenly Father, we support svid2 and others who will be fasting for Catholic Schools on Friday January 23rd , 2015; may their prayers and fasting rise like a sweet incense before your throne; may You hear their prayers and may You bless Catholic schools with a strong spiritual foundation, excellent teachers and students and a viable financial backing!!
 
both the catholic grammar school & high school i attended have been boarded up & closed forever

it wasn’t that long ago that both had a waiting list to get into

the catholic college i went to (hint look at my avatar) has a billion dollar endowment and will probably outlast the US government

something is wrong with this picture

Amen.
 
Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

†

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Prayer to St. Thomas Aquinas for Catholic Schools

Saint Thomas Aquinas, you are called by Holy Mother Church, the Angel of the Schools. Your wisdom, gathered through long meditation from the source of all wisdom, the most holy Trinity, has long been a shining light in the Catholic Church. Ignorance of the things of God is a darkness now enveloping the minds of many of our countrymen. In this darkness, we need a saint like you who will protect, foster, and nourish the schools we have, and guide and strengthen us in establishing and building newer and more adequate schools for the instruction of our children in the ways of Christ. Help and bless the generous sisters, brothers, and priests who labor so unselfishly in the classroom to spread the knowledge of Christ. Inspire our Catholic men and women to be most generous in the support of the schools we have. Grant to parents the wise generosity they need to give their child back to God when that child wishes to follow a priestly or religious vocation. Help us, Saint Thomas, Angel of the Schools, to understand what you taught, and to follow your example. Amen.
