Quote★★★
Hear our prayers, O Lord Jesus, the everlasting Wisdom of the Father, who givest unto us, in the days of our youth, aptness to learn: add, we pray thee, the furtherance of thy grace, so to learn knowledge and the liberal sciences that, by their help, we may attain to the fuller knowing of thee, whom to know is the height of blessedness; and by the example of thy boyhood, may duly increase in age, wisdom and favor with God and man; who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, world without end. Amen.*
