Wednesday, September 25th

DAY 1

MORNING PRAYER

Today’s reflection is a reading from the book of Proverbs. It reads “Keep hold of instruction; do not let go; guard her, for she is your life” This short reading from Proverbs tells to remember the value of education. 

God of Love,
Help us to focus on learning. 
Help us with our assignments,
and especially help us to learn more 
about Jesus being the light of the world. 
Help us then take that knowledge 
and share God’s love with those around us.  
Through Christ our Lord. 
Amen.
