Living in the Spirit 

Welcome to week 9.

This week, Year 5/6 wrote some reflective and thoughtful prayers on the Fruits of the Spirit.

JOY

Dear God,

Please help me to be joyful in my everyday life. Help me to enjoy others’ presence and help them to feel joy in their own life.

Amen

Dear God,

Please help me to understand joy and realise all the amazing things I take for granted.

Amen

PATIENCE

Dear God,

Please help me to have the fruit of patience by being less self-centred and instead, put others first. I don’t always need the things I want because there are some people who need more than me.

Amen

Dear God,

Please help me to have more patience, so that I don’t get annoyed at people’s imperfections. Please help me to accept everyone for who they are.

Amen

GOODNESS

Dear God,

Please help me to have the fruit of goodness so that I can be kind and good. Help me to be good to my sisters and my friends.

Amen

Come Holy Spirit,

Fill me with the fruit of patience so that I can have composure and be more calm in difficult situations. Please help me to accept everyone for who they are.

Amen

LOVE

Dear God,

Please help me to love others as they love me, so that I may feel compassion, understanding and love towards people who do the same for me. I pray that you will help me to care for others.

Amen

SELF CONTROL

Dear God,

Please hep me to control my anger and frustration so I can be the best person that I can be.

Amen

Dear God,

Please help me to have self-control when I am angry and annoyed, so that I can be the best person I can be.

Amen

GENTLENESS

Holy Spirit,

I ask to be granted with gentleness so that I can be kind with my words and actions and to respect other people.

Amen

I would like to thank Mrs Sixsmith, Ms Mikonnen and Year 1 students for preparing for and presenting our Centred in Faith Gathering this Friday.

Have a wonderful holiday with your family.
