About this Blog for the SUV Calss of 2016

Following a schedule initiated in April 2015, weekly posts on this blog highlight the prayer/intention of every student in the SUV 7th grade class. Prayers and intercessions are original works of the students. Their intentions are arranged over the course of one year to coincide with the feast days of their Patron Saints (chosen in the sacrament of Confirmation). Other intentions appeal to Guardian Angels or are especially fitting on special days of recognition, as indexed in the label column to the right of the blog page.

Prayers are posted here so that they can be observed remotely with intent to grow as a spiritual community through the power of collective thought.

Saint Lucy of Syracuse (Dec. 13)

Image result for saint lucia syracuseSt. Lucy:

“If you were to lift my hand to your idol and so make me offer against my will, I would still be guiltless in the sight of the true God, who judges according to the will and knows all things."
Lord, help us to strengthen our faith in you no matter what others say.

God, thank you for giving us the strength and power to keep going no matter what others say and help us to find the courage in ourselves to stand up for what we believe in as Saint Lucy did.
Please protect us from the hatred in the world and to help us believe in ourselves to stay strong,   Amen. 
Reese
