India is my country.
All Indians are my brothers and sisters.
I love my country
and I am proud
of its rich
and varied heritage.
I shall always try
to be worthy of it.
I shall give my parents
teachers
and all elders
respect
and treat everyone.
with courtesy.
To my country
and my people
I pledge my devotion.
In their well being
and prosperity alone lies my happiness
(1) To East and West of that fair Isle Where the first Loreto stands,
Loreto’s banner now doth fly in many distant lands. In sunny Spain, on Afric’s strand
And under the Southern Cross
And westward ho, where rainbow-hued. Niagara’s waters toss.
CHORUS
Loreto’s banner gaily floats In lands both East and West,
Loreto’s name each girl reveres And holds it ever blest.
(2)
But first Loreto found a home beneath our Indian skies Where now o’er plain and mountain peak
The well loved banner flies. Loreto’s standard bearers we In girlhood’s springtime gay.
O may we e’er be loyal and true To the school friends of today.
CHORUS
(3) And when our school days ended are And our varied paths divide
O may the ideals of our youth Still ever be our guide ;
High ideals of purity, of duty and of truth Learnt while we bore Loreto’s flag
in the sunny days of youth.
(1)
AImighty God, my loving Father, I love you with my whole heart and above all things, I offer You all my thoughts, words and actions and ask you to bless me during this day. Help me so that I may always know, love and serve you, and be eternally happy with you after death.
(2)
Today, O God make me :
Courageous enough to face things of which I am afraid : Strong enough to overcome temptations and do the right thing ; Persevering enough to finish every task that is given to me to do; Kind enough always to be ready to help others,
Help me to live in purity, to speak in truth, To act in love, all through to-day.
(3)
O, God, thank you for all the people and the things which make such a difference to my life.
Thank you for my parents and for all that they do for me ; my home and for all the happiness and the comforts which are always waiting there for me ; my friends in whose company I am happy; my school and for everything I learn here, my teachers and the domestic staff who help me in every way. Thank you God, for these and all that you have given me and above all, thank you, Lord, for giving me Yourself.

O God / the source of all truth and wisdom / bless our work and study / which we offer you. Enlighten our minds / strengthen our memories / and direct our wills / towards what is right / Enable us always / to seek the truth / and make us truly wise.
Our Father who art in Heaven / Hallowed be Thy name / Thy Kingdom come / Thy will be done / on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread / and forgive us our trespasses / as we forgive those / who trespass against us / Lead us not into temptation / but deliver us from all evil. Amen.
O God / the source of all knowledge / grant that we may remember / what we have learnt. We offer you our study and work / our failures and success. / Forgive us our shortcomings / and give us the courage / to follow always / the path of truth.
