God of wisdom, greatest Teacher of
all, look with love and kindness on
teachers everywhere.
Give them strength of body,
largeness of hearts and soundness
of mind so that they may perform
their task with vigor, competence,
compassion and patience.
Help them to be committed to their
mission to shape the tender minds
of the young in the knowledge of the
truth, the love for your creation and
the value of peace in this world.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
To be recited in all Sunday Masses on Sept. 22 and 29,
