Father of Light and Wisdom, thank
you for giving me a mind that can know
and a heart that can love. Help me to
keep learning every day of my life-no
matter what the subject may be. Let me
be convinced that all knowledge leads to
you and let me know how to find you and
love you in all the things you have made.
Encourage me when the studies are
difficult and when I am tempted to give
up. Enlighten me when my brain is slow
and help me to grasp the truth held out to
me. Grant me the grace to put my
knowledge to use in building the kingdom
of God on earth so that I may enter the
Kingdom of God in heaven.
