Lord, true source and giver of light and wisdom; grant me

discernment, understanding and wisdom in learning. Shine also
in my mind the light of the grace of the Holy Spirit. Give me
a keen sense of understanding, a retentive memory, a capacity to
grasp things correctly, and skill to express myself with thoroughness
and clarity. Be with me at the start of my work. Guide its progress
and bring it to completion. Grant this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
