International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer
Here's a little good news (1:47) regarding the capacity of human beings to solve a problem.
So, we've done something about the ozone layer - which demonstrates that we can heal the world. Let's be resolute in finding ways we can contribute to solving the ongoing problem of climate change.
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Creator God,
help us appreciate the wonders of this planet;
on this day when we can celebrate a success,
help us to seek a greater understanding of the causes of climate change which threatens the world;
give us wisdom and resolve to act in such a way that we contribute to solutions.
We ask this in your Holy Name. AMEN

Behind every great teacher is a great teaching assistant!!!!!!
Let's celebrate the unsung heroes of learning - our teaching assistants and other learning support staff!
Make their day by saying thank you and giving them a smile!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY (available here as a 1:24 video)
Let's spend a few moments thinking about those who walk alongside us as we learn.
Let's give thanks for their patience,
for their consistency,
for their compassion,
for not giving up on us,
for believing in us,
for recognising our potential,
for the time they put in,
for the efforts they make,
for their encouragement,
for their advice,
for their sheer humanity which models for us
how wonderful every human being is.
Loving God, we place our Teaching Assistants
and all who support us in your hands.
Help us to show we appreciate them
by what we say and what we do.
St. Julie: pray for us, protect us and bless us.
