4. Scripture
So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation;  that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself,* not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting the message of reconciliation to us.   - 2 Corinthians 5:17-19

5. Prayer
It is the beginning of a a new school year, and God is a God of new beginnings and new creations. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth, new life, blessed it and called it good.
All: We give thanks for a new year and for new beginnings. We give thanks that you call us good.

6. In the beginning, the heavens shone forth a star when our Saviour was born. In the beginning of his ministry, the heavens opened up and called him God’s beloved.
All: We give thanks that you know our pathways and what it means to be human. We give thanks that you call us your beloved children.

Amen.
Our Lady Queen of Peace, pray for us
