    An Antiphon in Ordinary Time on the Venite

    The earth is the Lord’s for he made it,

                                  Come, let us adore him.

Pray  for all those who through the darkness 

keep alive the light of learning; for those who persevere in prayer;  universities, colleges & schools, for students & teachers of history, for biblical scholars &  translators. 

Grant that
as he labored
in the spirit to
bring the riches
of your truth
to his generation,
so we, in our various
vocations. may strive
to make you know in
all the world   - Collect
