Exam week

Good Monday morning, my friends.

If you have kids in high school, as we do, there is a good chance they are writing exams this week.  This is a prayer for wisdom and knowledge that you can pray for them or even pass on to them.  But it is also a great prayer for those of us who may be a year or two beyond high school.

Grace and peace be yours in abundance,

Bruce

Give me O Lord, I pray Thee

firm faith, 

unwavering hope,

perfect charity.

Pour into my heart

the Spirit of wisdom and understanding

the Spirit of counsel and spiritual strength

the Spirit of knowledge and true godliness

and the Spirit of Thy holy fear.

Light eternal, shine in my heart

Power eternal, deliver me from evil

Wisdom eternal, scatter the darkness of my ignorance

Might eternal, pity me

Grant that I may ever seek Thy face

with all my heart and soul and strength;

and, in thine infinite mercy,

bring me at last to Thy holy presence

where I shall behold Thy glory

and possess Thy promised joys

St. Alcuin of York (735-804)
