Our School Prayers
School Karakia
Holy Trinity, united in perfect love.
God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
Te Matua, Father you are the creator of all things.
Help us to be the kaitiaki of all life in us and around us.
Hehu Karaiti, Jesus you came and promised us fullness of life.
Teach us to follow your footsteps and live in
aroha and whakapono in all that we do and say.
Te Wairua Tapu, Holy Spirit, you are our Advocate and guide.
Gift us with your wisdom and understanding so that we
may recognise your constant presence in our everyday lives.
May the Holy Trinity unite us in perfect love and walk with us on our journey.
Let us learn, love and serve in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Amen
The Glory Be
Glory be to the Father,
And to the Son,
And to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now,
And ever shall be,
World without end.
Amen.
The Sign of the Cross
The Sign of the Cross is a very significant prayer for us as it highlights the relationship of the Holy Trinity. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. It is a profession of our faith and will be a part of our school culture. We are united in Christ and through this unity we are all made in the image and likeness of God.
