Parish Notices Sunday 3rd June 2018
The Rector writes ‘ The Junior and Leaving Certificate examinations begin this Wednesday 6th . We hold all of our young people sitting these exams in our prayers and as in previous years I will have the subject timetables with a special candle lit at each Service during the exam period. I found a lovely prayer online from Veritas which you might like to use at home when thinking of all the students undergoing our state examinations:
Lord, pour out your Spirit of Wisdom on these students:
help them to remain calm, to attend carefully to the questions asked, to think clearly, to remember accurately and to express themselves well.
Grant that they may reflect on the best of the work they have done and the best of the teaching they have received. Accept their best efforts in these exams and in the great test of life on earth. May your love be upon them, O Lord, as they place all their trust in you.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. AMEN’
