A Student's Prayer
Creator of all things, true source of Light
and Wisdom, lofty of all Being,
graciously let a ray of Your Brilliance
penetrate into the darkness of my under-
standing and take from me the double
darkness in which I have been born,
sin and ignorance.
Give me a sharp sense of understanding,
a retentive memory, and ability to
grasp things correctly and fundamentally.
Grant me the talent of being exact
in my explanations, and the ability
to express myself with thoroughness
and charm. Point out the beginning,
direct the progress, help in the completion.
THROUGH CHRIST, OUR LORD
Saint Thomas Aquinas
