20 December - Fourth Sunday in Advent
Today, some of the children from Y5 helped the parish of Our Lady's Acomb by lighting the fourth candle on the Advent wreath. This candle represents peace. Members of the Y6 chaplaincy team wrote the following prayer:
Dear Lord,
Help us to keep peace in our homes, so they will become happy and calm.
Help us to bring peace to those who are upset.
Help us to show peace to those who need refuge.
Help us to appreciate peace that surrounds us.
Amen
