We people should give thanks for plenty of things. Family;

we should give thanks for family because they are the people that love, care and support us. Food;

we should give thanks that we have food on the table for other religions, the floor.Think about the people in Africa, they do not have the food we have in America.

We sometimes waste food, instead of wasting why not just give it to someone who needs it. Life;

life is one of the things we should be thankful for, some people don’t get to see life its self. No life, no us.

Survival;people are thankful for survival because there are many people

that have survived from severe diseases and illnesses,and there are many people that die from severe diseases ad illnesses.

Shelter;shelter is a great thing to be thankful for because we have a roof over our head,

and we should be thankful we do not live on the street, alleys, or beside a trash can.

Education;education is a very helpful thing because we have a great

Ability to learn new things.We should be thankful for friends because they

are always there for you, trust you and care for you. Friends are the one in a million things we have in life.

Love;love is the most wonderful thing ever

because love helps us people get through life.

Amen

because my parents would do anything to keep clothes on my back and shelter over my head.

Dear GodDuring the Lenten season I need strength and courage to keep my promise.

Please help me to have perseverance. Tell Jesus thanks for giving up his life.

I know that my sacrifice isn’t nearly as big as his but I’m trying to be a better person. During lent I think everyone needs confidence, courage, perseverance, wisdom and hope to keep

their sacrifices. Please help me do that. Sometimes I think that it is too hard to keep going with my promise and just as I think it’s too

Hard to keep going with my promise and just as I crave whatever I am giving up, I’ll think of you and how you gave up your son as a

sacrifice and maybe that will help me stay strong. Thank you god for helping me.

Some people think Christmas is just about gifts, butit’s really about the birth of Jesus.But gifts are involved a little bit.

The most important gift of all is the light of God.Shea Iles – Gr. 5


Christmas

Christmas is the time for loving and sharing.Yes the presents are fun but it’s not about presents.

It’s about Jesus’ birthday and getting together as a family.Plus Christmas is fun and joyful.

But you should always think of others.By giving them presents or hugging, kissing them.

Like if you’re under a mistletoe kiss someone.But the most important thing is Jesus’ birthday.

Toutes les personnes qui sont riche peuvent aider ce qui no sont pas.Toutes les personnes qui ont besoin plus d’amour peuvent l’avoir.

Toutes les personnes qui n’ont pas d’amis vont l’avoir.Toutes les personnes qui n’ont pas de maison auront une maison.

Toutes les personnes qui sont abuses vont être en sécurité.Toutes les personnes qui n’ont pas d’emploie peuvent en trouver.

Même s’ils ne sont pas gentil, ou ils ne sont pas baptises.Même s’ils n’ont ps de nourriture, ni un mere ou père.

Si Dieu n’existera pas ils n’auront rien. MaisDieu est leur père alors ils ont toujours l’amour.

The cross is the showing of the way,The cross is that Savior of the lost,

The cross guides that blind,The cross strengthens the suffering and the weak,

It is also the doctor of the sick,The cross is the aim of priests,

The cross spreads hope to the hopeless and everyone around,The cross helps the slaves have freedom,

It is the power of the kings,Then water that goes on seed is also the cross,

The cross helps the homeless find shelter,The cross helps clothe the naked,

So let’s thank the father in heaven for the cross,

146

Thank you Father

AmenAshely Whitfield – Gr. 9


Act of Consecration of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

We acknowledge that the first Friday of every month was designated by our savior himself as a day for us to be honoring his sacred heart.

As we lift our minds and hearts up to the Lord through our prayers, let us place ourselves in the presence of our Lord.

As we express our ardent love and devotion to Christ our Lord we pray:

The most sacred heart to Jesus,We consecrate ourselves to you most sacred heart.

We take the possession of your whole being, you may transform us into yourself. Make our hands your hands, let your eyes see with your eyes, make our feet your feet, let us love

others ad you have loved, let us listen with your ears just as you have done, let us speak with your mouth, let us love with your heart, let us understand just as you have done.

Show us how to serve with the same way you did, and let us be dedicated to your whole being, let us be your other self.

Most sacred heart of Jesus, send us your Holy Spirit to teach us to love you and to live through you, with you and for you, let us teach of you and let us show others the way to heaven.

We ask these things in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ



Angel Prayers

O’ Lord, may you please send me an angel that I can give to a one and only friend who will always be in my heart mind and soul.

This angel is here to take care of my friends so then I know that they will be ok no matter what.There is always a guardian angel for every person who is on this earth.

When you lose someone that means also to you they will become your guardian angel and they won’t let anything happen to you.

O’ Lord, please give me the gift of an angel that I can give to my friends so they will be safe.Angels will always be there for you no matter what.

So let’s pray for all the angels up in heaven who takes care of a little child. They have a hard job and they won’t mess up.

Un poème a propos la semaine de Vocation

Un jour, je veux voyager en Afrique et aider les enfants qui sont pauvres et ont besoin d’aide. Un jour, je veux aider les enfants affectés par la qu’erré.

Un jour, je veux soi8gner tous les enfants qui sont malades mais n’ont pas de docteurs ou de médicaments.

Un jour, je veux que toutes les qu’errés soient terminées.Un jour, je veux que tout le monde soit également riche.

Un jour, je veux que l’on puisse vivre en paix et en harmonie. Un jour, la terre peut être comme le ciel, mais si on veut que ça arrive, on doit commencer à faire

les changements.Aide le monde! Écoute Dieu!
