This Valentine’s Day Oh, Lord, we pray for all couples that they may have lasting love for each other.

Grant then the wisdom to realize that true love is not given to them on a silver platter, but it is something that they should constantly struggle to work hard for.

Bestow your generosity and love so that their expression of their love is also the expression of your love.

Give them your spirit so that they would have the patience to tolerate each other’s shortcomings.

Bless also those who are alone this Valentine’s Day. Enlighten them so that they would know that they should rejoice too because you are there for them as well.

Bless all people so that they will show love this Valentine’s Day no matter what race, creed or color they maybe. This we ask in the mighty name of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Dear Lord, as we gather before you to participate in this academic contest, make us aware that we do this competition not for our own glory but to glorify your name.

Grant your wisdom that the contestants will value more the camaraderie and cooperation that would happen today more that the glory of winning.

Allow the losers to learn that they are already winners because of their willingness to share their talents. Let the winners learn that they succeeded because of your blessing and guiding presence.

Bestow your generosity and love to all of us present today and bless also those who are left at home. Whatever we accomplish in this competition, we offer all of these to you.

Let this competition serve as a way to praise your name and spread your good news. This we ask through Christ, our Lord, Amen.

Grant that as we leave after this activity, we would bring along with us the true spirit of the season, that of your all-abounding love.

Make us realize that all our plans for the year ahead, should be based on what you would want us to do, and not on our own selfish motives.

Enlighten up our minds to recognize that nothing could be done unless you permit it, and that our successes are not ours but yours.

May you bless the incoming year for us, so we could all triumphed in the endeavors you have set for us for this New Year and the years to come. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

The New Year is upon us once again dear God. We thank you for another fruitful year that has passed. We are aware that without your divine providence and guidance, we may not have been able to survive the year and succeed in our endeavors.

May we obtain your blessings in this New Year so that we could plan based on what you want us to do. May we have New Year’s resolutions that are congruent with your all abounding love and generosity; that our plans for the succeeding year should not only for our success but also the triumph of others.

Let us realize that without your blessings, we are nothing and none of our plans would succeed. Because it is only through you that everything is possible. It is only through helping others that we also help ourselves.

Bless everyone present here today; our loved ones, friends, and all mankind that peace would reign and love would prevail.

We pray in the Almighty name of God, Amen.
