A Prayer
Grant, O Lord, that as we begin a new phase of the year, we may make the fullest use of the time and the opportunities that you have granted us. Help us to use both wisely and well, for the profit of mind, soul and body. Give us strength and courage to fight always for what we know to be right. Lead us to new adventures, bind us all into one family and, above all, make up the difference between what we are and what we ought to be. As the seasons change, may we find rest in Your eternal changelessness, for You are both Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, whose years shall not fail.
Father, we pray that you fill the PMC community with Your Spirit. Here, may the strong renew their strength and seek for their working lives a noble consecration; here, may the poor find help and the friendless, friendship. Here, may the sorrowing and bereaved find comfort in the truth that death has no dominion over their beloved.

A Fall Prayer
O Lord, the time of year reminds us that for every end there is a beginning; after the rest and re-creation of summer, there is the return to the routine of daily life. O Lord, help us to maintain the youthful spirit of summer throughout the coming year, remembering that youth is not a time of life – it is a state of mind. So long as our hearts receive messages of beauty, cheer, courage, grandeur, and power from the earth, from man, and from You, O Lord, so long are we young.
For all the teachers and students who have returned to school after the long summer break: grant them to know that which is worth knowing, to love that which is worth loving and to esteem that which is precious in Your eyes.
