1. Let us pray:
Dear Lord, once you said; when there are
two or three gathered in your name, there
you are in the midst of us. Today, we ask
the Spirit of wisdom to direct our minds in
knowing you through the Holy Scripture-the
Word of life. Inspire our hearts that we may
be able to share with others the fruits of our
knowledge of Your Word that we may
become truly faithful to you in all our
actions.
All these in Jesus Name…Amen.
