Homework March 16 - 20, 2020

If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

Welcome to on-line school!

Let us begin with a prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father,
Today we ask for your guidance in keeping our minds open to this new way of learning at Our Lady of Mercy School. We ask you to bless our national and community leaders as they try to keep us safe. We pray too for the community servants who care for the sick and respond to our needs. May we find peace and comfort through the life and death of your son, Jesus Christ.
Our Lady of Mercy; pray for us.
Amen
