Collect: Most Loving God, we praise and thank you for this day, as we open our hearts to your leading through the sacred gift of theological education. Draw us closer to your mystery, that in seeking to know you, we may discover ourselves anew within your divine purpose. Through the shared and diverse experiences of your people, teach us to listen deeply, to question faithfully, and to discern wisely-so that your Church may truly become a learning community, ever transformed by your living word. Root us in your truth, guide us by your Spirit, and shape us into a people whose lives bear witness to your grace. Strengthen theological teachers and students to carry forward this holy calling with humility and courage, nurturing minds and hearts to grow into the fullness of Christ, who lives and reigns with you andtheHoly Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
