Loving Father, I stand before you in the midst of confusion and complexities of life.
Let me not forget the importance of my tasks.
Help me to discover the joy of learning.
Come into my heart and my mind, Lord,
true source of light and fountain of all wisdom! Grant me a penetrating mind to understand, a retentive memory, method and ease in learning.
Help me to comprehend, and bless me with abundant grace in expressing what I have learned.
Holy Spirit, guide the beginning of my work, direct its progress, and bring it to successful completion.
Help me to learn not simply to pass exams, not just to please my parents and teachers, But for the love of learning and acquiring precious knowledge, for the pride felt for doing my best.
Lord, grant me the vision to see the path you set before me, the vision to see the importance of knowledge, and help me to be thankful for my intelligence and the ability to learn.
Grant me the courage to follow your way, so that through the gifts and talents you have given me, I may better serve you Lord, and bring your life and your love to others. I ask this in the name of your son
Jesus, my Lord and Saviour,
Amen
