Life in School as Teachers and Students, March 10

O God, we live intently in this time of our lives. Give us the grace to be proud of ourselves, to honor our past and to be open to our future. Help us to have the courage to be friends with one another. Lead us to learn and to teach in such a way that we grow toward one another and all people. Help us to see your presence in those who are around us and teach us to serve you by serving them. Help us to be instruments of your peace. Though Jesus Christ who came to learn, to reconcile, and to serve. Amen. [National Association of Episcopal Schools]
