THE PRAYER

PRAYER BEFORE CLASS

O my God,

Teach me to love you with all my heart

Help me never to displease you by any wrongdoing

Strengthen my weakness.

Help me to fight on in time of temptation

and when I feel afraid.

Help me to think the right things,

to speak the right things,

to do the right things,

so that I may be a help to my friends

and to all others around me.

Bless me with knowledge and understanding,

Bless my country,

my parents,

brothers and sisters,

and all who do good to me.

Grant that one day

we may all come safely home to heaven.

Amen.
