A Student’s Prayer

by St. Thomas Aquinas

Come, Holy Spirit, Divine Creator, true source of light and

fountain of wisdom! Pour forth your brilliance upon my
dense intellect, dissipate the darkness which covers me,
that of sin and of ignorance.
Grant me a penetrating mind to understand, a retentive
memory, method and ease in learning, the lucidity to
comprehend, and abundant grace in expressing myself.
Guide the beginning of my work, direct its progress, and
bring it to successful completion. This I ask through Jesus
Christ, true God and true man, living and reigning with
You and the Father, forever and ever. Amen.
