Notre Dame High School, San Jose

As we enter a new month, let us recenter ourselves and take a moment to reflect on the days to come and be thankful for the days that have passed. Before beginning today’s meditation, I invite you to sit in a comfortable position, have your head down or close your eyes, take a breath, and let your mind relax. Let us pray.

God of Goodness,
We ask you to allow us to pause for a moment and recenter ourselves. Give us grace for ourselves and others, allowing us to learn and grow, and support us through our successes and failures.
May we be thankful for our friendships, old and new, and thank them for their love and support.
May we be blessed with opportunities big and small.
May we be grateful for our blessings and bless others in need of our love.
May we be prepared for our future and be supported while facing upcoming challenges.
May we pray this in the name of all that is good and holy,
Amen.
