Lord, true source of light and wisdom, give us a keen
sense of understanding, a retentive memory and the
capacity to grasp things correctly. Grant us the grace
to be accurate in our dispositions and the skills to
express ourselves with thoroughness and clarity. Be
with us at the start of our work and study, guide its
progress and bring it to its completion. 2

Grant this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
