Dear Lord,

The Catholic Diocese of Hong Kong celebrated Education Day yesterday. Today, we would like to pray for the Church, Catholic schools, educators, families and students. Let us pray for the Church. Lord, please help the Church to uphold the teaching of the Gospel even in the midst of social injustice and difficulties. Please bless the Catholic schools so that they will become the ground for formation of lives and nurturing students. Please grant all educators love and motivation to educate our students with the correct values. May you be with every family so that members will treat one another with love, patience, forgiveness and self-sacrifice. May you also protect our students. Let them grow in wisdom and be able to resist temptation.

Lord, hear our prayer.
