Prayer for Children at the Beginning of the School Year

Merciful and wise God, hear our petitions, which we lift to You with deep faith and trust through the greatest Teacher, Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit. May the Almighty God bless the students and guide them in the new school year so that they may know His Wisdom and, through diligent study, well prepare themselves to fulfill their life's calling.

May Jesus Christ, the Son of God and their sole Teacher, illuminate them with His Word, that in the new school year they may follow Him and grow in His friendship and love, and that the Holy Spirit, who has guided them ever since baptism, may give them courage and perseverance, that by word and example they may draw others to Jesus Christ. Amen.
