Teachers prayerO God/ you are my patience and strength/ my light and counsel/ You guide me/ in what I have to say/ to my pupils/ and You make them responsive to my words/ Be with them and with me/at all times/ Give me for their sake a share/ In the gifts of your spirit/wisdom/ understanding/ counsel/ courage/ knowledge/ filial devotion to you/ and A fear of displeasing you/ Increase my faith/ and give me zeal/ to do your willAmen
