Volume 11 - 24 April, 2012 Dear Parents and Students Tomorrow we remember with thanks and deep gra tude the great courage and sacrifice of our fallen troops. We pray to our God of love and liberty in thanks for the peace and security we enjoy as a Na on today. We pray that freedom, truth and jus ce can be brought to all na ons and that our quest for peace be granted. “My commandment is this: Love one another, just as I love you. The greatest love you can have for your friends Is to give your life for them.” John 15 : 12 ‐13
Lord our God, boundless provider, source of peace that the world cannot
give, kindly hear our constant prayer for those who bore witness to your
own fidelity by giving their lives for those they loved. Resurrect them
in our true homeland and perfect that peace for which they longed and died. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
CONGRATULATIONS
