Opening Prayer for Class
The Prayer
Heavenly Father,
As we begin this class, be present among us. Fill our minds with wisdom, our hearts with kindness, and our work with purpose. Help us listen carefully, learn with humility, and use the gifts You have given us for the good of others. Through the intercession of St. Thomas Aquinas, guide us in our search for knowledge, wisdom, and truth.
Amen.
