Your spirit of wisdom, which dwells in Yawuru country teaches us your ways

Open my eyes and ears to your grace at work in the world.

Make me keen to understand, quick to learn, able to remember,

wise to interpret and give me courage to speak the truth.

May I respect and support others, never stop striving for excellence,

We ask this through Christ our Lord.
