God, our loving Father! You are the source of all knowledge and to know you is our joy. Bless our studies which we consecrate to you. Enlighten our minds, strengthen our memories and direct our will towards what is noble and right. Grant us to seek Truth always and be good to everyone we meet on the path of our life, today and everyday. May what we learn today enable us to grow to maturity in Christ our Lord.

Scripture reading...

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses; as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
