Back to School Blessing

God of wisdom and might, we praise you for the wonder of our being, for mind, body and spirit.

Be with our children as they begin a new school year.

Bless them and their teachers and staff.

Give them strength and grace to their bodies as they grow; wisdom and knowledge to their minds as they search for understanding; and peace and zeal to their hearts.

We ask this through Christ our Lord, Amen.
