It is that time of year again! Students, teachers and professors are heading back to classrooms to start the new school year. We wish them the best as they return to their studies. Below, you will find a prayer from the liturgical Book of Blessings which we can pray as families or individuals for our students and teachers.
Lord God, your Spirit of wisdom fills the earth and teaches us your ways.
Look upon these students. Let them enjoy their learning and take delight in new discoveries. Help them to persevere in their studies and give them the desire to learn all things well.
Look upon these teachers. Let them strive to share their knowledge with gentle patience and endeavor always to bring the truth to eager minds.
Grant that students and teachers alike may follow Jesus Christ, the way, the truth, and the life, for ever and ever. Amen.
~Book of Blessings: (Blessing of Students and Teachers)
