that, students and teachers together, we may learn to recognise the face of God in others today. Father, teach us to recognise your face in the people you put into our lives today. Amen

Let us pray:
God our Father, you call each of us by name, and you treasure each of us individually as though no-one else exists. Inspire us to respect and value each person who comes into our lives this day. Amen.

Let us pray:
Lord, whilst I pray for peace and goodwill in our world, I ask you to help me to change my own attitude for the better, so that peace and goodwill may start with the way I behave towards those who have hurt me. Inspire me to be as generous to others as I would like them to be with me. Amen.

The regular prayer is not applicable.
You Never Gave Up On Me I often said you didn’t exist Because my eyes wouldn’t see I may have given up on you lord But you never gave up on me When troubles happened in my life I would hang my head and cry You let these happen to me And at times I wondered why I was quick to say if there was a God He wouldn’t let these happen to me I may have given up on you lord But you never gave up on me At many times during my life When the troubles were hard to bear I forgot the teachings of my youth And said you were not there I’ve heard your word again dear Lord And my eyes they finally see I thank you every day of my life That you never gave up on me - - by William A. Predeau

A Candle
Sit down and light a candle Watch the flame, a story it will tell Bringing back the secrets Of memories you know so well The flame will waver up and down Reaching high and drifting low Its movement will vary slowly As the air begins gently to flow When the flame moves upward It depicts the highs in our life Then flickering low once again Tells of occasional strife A lighted candle brings back memories Of yesterday's peace and joy we felt Priceless memories live once again As we watch the candle melt Light a candle and watch it burn And reminisce as old memories return Give thanks to God in heaven above For all sweet memories of love - - Glenna M. Baugh I didn't know which one to post, so I posted both.

Let us pray, using some words of blessing
that Paul wrote to the Christians in Corinth: May the life of the Lord Jesus, and the love of God the Father, and the companionship of the Holy Spirit be with us all. Amen.

1 Yesterday was the Feast of the Conversion
of Saint Paul. We’re going to listen to some words that Paul wrote to the Christians living in Rome, and we’ll use his words to reflect and pray today: 2 Do not let your love be a sham, but be sincere in choosing good rather than evil. Have warm affection for one another as Christian brothers and sisters. 3 Be committed and enthusiastic as you work for the Lord, being happy and cheerful as you place your trust in him. Live in God’s presence and keep on praying. When difficulties arise, be patient. Set out to welcome others and be generous with those in need. Don’t curse others; bless them, even when they have not been good to you. Do all you can to live in peace with everyone. Support and encourage others by rejoicing with those who are happy, and sharing the sadness of those who are in sorrow. Never look down on another person, but always be positive in your attitude to others. Be as concerned for those who can do nothing for you in return as for those who are very close to you. Break the cycle of evil - conquer it with goodness. (Romans 129-18,21)

1 On this day in 1986 the United States’
Space Shuttle “Challenger” roared into the sky from Cape Canaveral in Florida. The world’s TV cameras were focused on the rocket as it carried five men and two women. One of the women, Christa McAuliffe (a high school teacher), had won a contest to be the first “ordinary person” in space. 2 Millions of people watched live on television as, suddenly, a minute after blastoff, “Challenger” exploded 3 In a speech to the people of the United States, President Ronald Reagan quoted a few lines from a poem written by a 19- year old British Second World War pilot, John Magee, who was killed in an air-collision in 1941 just three months after writing the poem. John Magee captures something of the spirit and adventure of flying, and talks of having put out his hand and touched the face of God. We’ll use his poem to reflect and pray today: 4 Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air. Up, up the long, delirious burning blue I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace, Where never lark, or even eagle flew - And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand and touched the face of God.

Let us pray:
God and Father of all people, never let me look down on others or make anyone feel inferior. Show me how to remove any prejudices so that I may appreciate individuals more for who they are. Inspire me to live in such a way that I may discover you in the people I will meet today. Amen. Gandhi said: “If you don’t find God in the very next person you meet, it is a waste of time looking for him further.”

Let us pray:
Lord, this day and forever, may I have the courage never to be afraid of anyone. May I have the generosity to bear ill-feeling toward no-one. Lead me to live in such a way as to treat others in the same way as I would like to be treated. Inspire me never to be violent in thought, word or action, and lead me to conquer evil with goodness. Amen. “I shall not fear anyone. I shall not bear ill-feelings toward anyone.”

John Bosco said:
“Young people should not only be loved but they must know that they are loved.” Let us pray: Lord, show me how to live today with genuine concern for others. In expressing my care, may I show people that they are valued, loved and appreciated for who they are. Amen.

FEBRUARY
As art is a journey of discovery, Lord, so may I grow more aware this day of your life-giving presence. And so we pray: Lord, we come before you as we are. We ask you to take away from us all that makes us less than human. Strengthen us with the power of your Spirit that our attitude and outlook may develop, and our “way of looking” may become more like yours Help us to remain positive - encouraging and appreciating one another, looking upon people in the same way that you do. Amen.
