We are the children of St Clare
She teaches us to love and care
For ev'ry living creature
For the earth, the sky, the stars and the sea.
St Clare's our guiding light
Together we walk the way of Christ

From a small spark comes a burning flame
From a small spark the fire of love can burn
We walk the path of humility
We are the children of God's light
We are the children of St Clare

For ev'ry soul on earth
For the poor, the lonely, the hungry and sad.
St Clare ignites God's love in our hearts
Together rejoice and all be glad

From a small spark comes a burning flame
From a small spark the fire of love can burn
We walk the path of humility
We are the children of God's light
We are the children of St Clare

God our creator,
We give praise and thanks for all
that you have given us –
our family, our school
and parish community
and the beauty of our world.
Help us to continue to learn,
grow and pray as we spread the
flame of faith that follows a spark.
May we use this day to show
love and peace to one another.
We ask your blessing as we try
to follow Jesus, learning from
our sister Clare and our brother
Francis.
We ask this prayer through Christ our Lord.
Amen
