Jesus, Divine Teacher,

You instruct men in life-giving

truths. With the light of Your Holy
Spirit, enlighten my mind and
expel from it all darkness of
ignorance,
Guide my understanding and memory
to grasp and retain ideas, keep me
attentive to my teachers and diligent in
my studies. Assist me so that in building
my knowledge. I may also build up my
spiritual life.
Give me the courage to apply my
studies for your honor and for the
benefit of others.
Amen.
O Glorious St. Bartholomew, Jesus called
you a person without guile and you saw
in this word a sign that he was the Son of
God and King of Israel. Obtain for us the
grace to be ever guileless and innocent
as doves.
 At the same time, help us to have
your gift of faith to see the Divine
hand in the events of daily life. May
we discern the signs of the times that
lead to Jesus on earth and will
eventually unite us to him forever in
heaven. Amen.
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having
offended You, and I detest all my sins,
because I fear the loss of heaven and
the pains of hell. But most of all because
I offended you, my God, who are all
good and deserving of all my love
I firmly resolve, with the help of your
grace, to sin no more, to do
penance and to avoid whatever
leads me to sin. Amen.
