Collect
God of Wisdom, Source of all Truth and Understanding. You call us to shape minds and transform lives through learning. Grant us, like the Servant in Isaiah, a teacher's tongue and a disciple's ear, that we may speak with grace, correct in love, and lead with integrity. Let your Word dwell richly in our hearts, guiding the young in truth and purity. Empower teachers and learners alike to walk in righteousness, upheld by your Spirit and rooted in sound doctrine. As Christ made fishers of people, so may we, through the vocation of education, draw many to your wisdom and ways. Through Jesus Christ, the light of the world, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
