Prayer

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.
Amen.
