A Year of Prayers: April 2016

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.

Everything we receive is given to us through God’s good grace. Dear Lord, in the spirit of St. Isadore, please help to use all of our gifts wisely and to honor You, Lord with the work that we produce, especially with computers and the internet, so that we will manage our time and selections in a way that is most pleasing to you, our Holy Father. Amen.
