Teacher's Prayer Before Lessons

Lord Jesus Christ, to Thee I cry:

hear me Thine unworthy servant!

Enlighten my mind;

grant that I may truly and clearly describe

Thy way into the Kingdom of Glory

which Thou in Thy mercy has granted us!

Grant that those who read and listen to my words

may be filled with Thy love,

enlightened by Thy knowledge

and made strong by Thy power.

Warm our hearts with Thy Spirit

and we shall joyfully and fervently go

the way which Thou hast shown us.

St. Innocent of Alaska,

Apostle to America
