The children have created a display in the hall depicting the Our Father. This is to commemorate the Year of Prayer as set out by Pope Francis.

We have been using the following reflection in class to deepen our understanding of the Our Father. We have also used this reflection to inspire our Art work.

Our Father  

• God is our father.
• We are part of His family.

Who art in Heaven 

• Heaven is our home.
• The Father intercedes for us here.

Hallowed be thy name

• The Father is holy, and He is perfect.
• We wish to be holy too, just like The Father.

Thy kingdom come

• We wait for The Father's kingdom.
• We wait in hope for when He comes again.
• The Father's kingdom is of peace and true happiness.

Thy will be done.

• Whose will are we seeking?
• We do not follow our own will but the will of The Father.
• The Father wills us to be with Him in paradise.

On Earth as it is in Heaven

• Our lives on Earth are a taste of what awaits us in our Heavenly home.

Give us this day our daily bread

• He gives us our daily portion. Just what we need.
• We ask of Him like a child asks his father.
• We hunger for God.

Forgive us our trespasses

• The Father is always willing to forgive.
• We realise that we are in need of forgiveness.
• The Father will run to us.

As we forgive those who trespass against us

• The Father has forgiven us, so we too must forgive each other.
• The Father is full of mercy, so we too must show mercy.

• When we forgive someone, we show the love of The Father to that person.

Lead us not into temptation

• The Father leads us in the right direction.
• He leads us away from the things that will not make us happy.

Deliver us from evil

• Father, deliver us from all evil and lead us to our true home.

Amen
