“Father,
I have knowledge, so will You show me now, how to use it wisely and find a way somehow
to make the world I live in a little better place, and make life with its problems a little bit easier to face.
Grant me faith and courage and put purpose in my days, and show me how to serve Thee in effective ways
so my education, my knowledge and my skill may find their true fulfillment as I learn to do Thy will.
And may I ever be aware in everything I do, that knowledge comes from learning, and wisdom comes from You.
Amen.” ……..Author Unknown

WELCOME BACK, FATHER SWAMY! We missed you!
