  2. Dear God, We thank you for creating this beautiful world and for St Michaels Catholic School within it. We are so diverse, yet each one of us is precious in your eyes and you have faith in us. All our gifts and talents and all that we achieve in life, comes from you. May we always use what you have given us wisely and fairly so that we can really shine both at school and in the wider world. We may face issues and problems in life, but we are never alone when we invite you in. We humbly ask you to help grow our spirits, plant the seeds of faith in our hearts and water them with traits of love, so that our St Michael’s community will bloom, achieving your glory.
