God our Saviour, you sat among the teachers of the law, listening to them and questioning them. We entrust our child to you while he (she) is at school. Fill him (her) mind so that he (she) may learn the knowledge necessary for this life and for the life to come. Help him (her) in all he (she) has to do. Give him (her) perseverance and strength.
Make him (her) responsive and hardworking. You are the way, the truth and the life, do not let him (her) be led astray from the right path by false teachings. May he (she) grow like you, Lord Jesus, in age, in wisdom, and in grace before God and men. Amen.
