Opening Prayer

Almighty Father, we praise and

thank you for the opportunity
to learn today from our
facilitator and from one
another. Help us to focus our
hearts and minds on what we
are about to learn in this

Inspire us by your Holy Spirit so that
we may understand the lessons and
see its practical application in our
everyday activities.

Guide us by your eternal light as we

discover more truths about the
world around us. We ask this
through the intercession of St.
Thomas Aquinas, Amen.

The Dominican Blessing
May God the Father bless us.
May God the Son heal us.
May God the Holy Spirit enlighten us,
and give us eyes to see with,
ears to hear with,
hands to do the work of God with,
feet to walk with,
a mouth to preach the word of salvation with,
and the angel of peace to watch over us and lead
us at last,
by our Lord's gift, to the Kingdom.

St. Thomas Aquinas, pray for us.
