Religion News: Peace 

We must not forget... We must keep praying

Lord God of Peace.

Today we pray for peace, especially in those places affected by war

. As we pray that our voices combine and our hearts beat as one. 

May your love and mercy flow like a river through the Immaculate Heart of Mary to bring peace to our world.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Response: Amen.

And may our prayers lead us to action, to be the hands and face of God

Every morning children who are as old as those we teach wake up to the horror of war in Ukraine. We are called to continue to pray for these children, and their families and for peace in our world.

A reading from the Holy Gospel according to John:

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”

The Gospel of the Lord.

It is not always easy for children and teenagers to always know how to manage friendships. Learning how to make new friends and keep them involves a number of skills every young person needs to understand and develop. For some these skills will come very naturally, allowing them to easily move between different friendship groups, share their experiences and open up to new people. For others, this can be much harder to navigate. Belonging to a group that is like-minded with similar interests is highly beneficial to a child’s wellbeing. Friendships are full of ups and downs and it is better for kids to learn how to manage and build their own friendships, even though as an adult carer you may be tempted to interfere.
