Monthly Virtue: April

Dear Lord,

We pray for the virtue of love to guide us in our daily lives, especially in our school community. May we see each person as a beloved child of God, worthy of respect and kindness. Grant us the grace to love our teachers, our classmates, and even those who challenge us. Help us to remember that love is patient, love is kind, and love is not self-seeking. As we learn and grow, may we be inspired by the example of Jesus, who taught us to love one another as he loved us. May his love fill our hearts and radiate through our actions so that we may be a beacon of light in our school community and beyond. We ask this through Christ our Lord, Amen.

Someone who is a loving person, as outlined by the Catholic Graduate Expectations is someone who…

• Understands that family intimacy and sexuality are gifts from God

• Uses them according to divine purpose

• Treats family members with love, compassion, and respect, even in difficult situations

• Recognizes and honors the rights, responsibilities, and contributions of oneself and others within the family
