Our Father, who art in heaven; hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Do not let us fall into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
– Amen

O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Your grace, to sin no more and to avoid all occasions of sin.

Oh God, from whom all wisdom, and knowledge come; help me to do my studies well. Open my mind to the Truth; make me diligent and constant in the pursuit of learning. Give me an attentive mind Lord; keen and alert, so that I can concentrate and grasp my lessons. Give me an eager mind Lord to learn something new every day, and may my aim always be to pierce the veil of the visible world, to reach You, Invisible, Eternal, Unchan-geable Truth.
