Catholic Identity

A prayer to share:

Dear God,

Please help me learn and understand the things I study. Help me remember what I learn, think clearly, and use my knowledge well. Help me do my best in my schoolwork and make You proud. Give me focus, patience, and strength to keep trying, even when things are hard.

Amen.
