We have invited all grandparents into the school on Wednesday, 28th of January at 1pm to celebrate Grandparents Day. We will pay tribute to the role that they play in handing on the faith to their grandchildren.
Grandparents bring such joy to the lives of their grandchildren and we know that the grandchildren, in turn, can bring great joy to their grandparents lives too. Grandparents teach us how to serve God as they pass on their faith to all of us.
A Grandparent's Prayer
Oh Lord, I do not ask for much,
Eternal beauty, or youth, or such.
Just give me a little hand to hold,
And I'll forget that I'm growing old.
I do not ask for cloudless skies,
A life that's free from tears and sighs.
Just give me a little face to kiss,
And anxious moments will turn to bliss.
For what is there, really, that means so much
As little hands that reach and touch,
As little eyes that search and see
Only the best in fragile me?
So let me grow more loving and wise
By looking at life through their wide eyes.
For through these little ones, you have given
This grateful grandparent a glimpse of Heaven.
