A Prayer at the Outset

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit:

Thank You Father for Your vast and incredible creation. Thank You for the mysterious and meticulous way in which You set the laws that govern it. Thank You for the care You took in putting every leaf on every tree and in setting each star in the sky. Thank You for the loving way You made this Earth a suitable home for Your children.

Thank You for our inquisitive nature, for our passion for learning, for our endless curiosity,  and for our excitement for the world around us.

Thank You for the faith that You have kindled in so many people around the globe. Thank You especially for the faith that makes so many Christians worldwide hang on to their belief in You despite the forces that would convince them otherwise. We are grateful for that faith even when it is imperfect or incomplete.

Guide and protect us that we may never cause anyone to doubt You but rather that, through the gifts You have given us and through Your continued direction and support, we may help to correct their understanding of You and of Your creation so that they may come to know You and love You more fully.

St. Ambrose, pray for us.

Mary Seat of Wisdom, pray for us.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
