Classroom and daily prayer

Classroom Prayer:
Each class period begins with prayer, utilizing both traditional prayers and original prayers composed by teachers and students.

Community Morning Prayer:
The Providence community prays together every morning.  Students, faculty and staff volunteer to share a personal reflection over the public address system, followed by the recitation of the Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and concluding with the Pledge of Allegiance

Community Afternoon Prayer:
Before dismissing at the end of the day, the entire community once again participates in a short prayer.

To volunteer for the Morning Prayer, please contact anyone in the Pastoral office.

Through the following prayer, we continue to journey through our ordinary life experiences with a hope to reach out and renew the oneness of our minds and hearts intent on the Lord Jesus.

Act of Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Eternal and ever loving Father,
I offer you everything I do this day:
My work, my prayers, my play, all my thoughts,
my time with family and friends,
my hours of relaxation,
my difficulties, problems, distresses,
which I shall try to bear with patience.

Join these, my gifts, to the unique offering
which Jesus Christ, your Son, renews today in the Eucharist.

Grant, I pray, that guided by the Holy Spirit
and united to the Sacred Heart of Jesus,
my life this day may be of service to you,
and to all you send into my life,
so that we can continue to respond with love
to the mystery of your call,
to be your special people.  Amen.

Leader:  Heart of Jesus burning with love for us
Response:  Enflame our hearts with love for you.
