“Heavenly Father, As I enter another week of my Lenten journey, guide me to the path that leads to you. Fill my heart with gratitude, patience, strength, and peace as I strive to become the-best-version-of-myself, honestly admitting my shortcomings and sins. As I renew my resolve each day to become a better person, let me hear your voice in the deepest reaches of my heart. Give me rest in you. Help me to accept others, showing them your great love instead of casting judgment. Stay with me through the busy days this week and remind me that when I need comfort, solitude, wisdom, or guidance, I can always turn to you. Help me develop discipline and generosity through fasting and almsgiving, and come closer to you through prayer this Lent. In your name I pray, Amen”. ___________________________________________________________________ Week-At-A Glance: March Virtue of the Month: BE HUMBLE Monday, March 9- Pizza Day, Tuesday, March 10- Choir @ 12:20 pm (Mrs. Fitzel) Wednesday, March 11- Dance Crew @ 12:20 pm in gym (Mrs. VP) Thursday, March 12- Boston Pizza Lunch, Stonehaven Manor (gr.3), Tech Club @ 12:20 pm in LC (Ms Terry, Mme Cadieux & Mme Rossi), Dance Crew @ 12:20 pm in gym (Mrs VP), Friday, March 13-Popcorn Day, Lenten Initiatives--Theme Day: HOORAY FOR PJ DAY!
