Collect:
O GOD, YOU are the source, the guide and the goal of all humans knowing and searching for wisdom. We praise YOU for the mind YOU have given to us and the whole enterprise of discovering and reflection, which every generation inherits from the past. Enable us to seek the wisdom that is from above so that we may lead a victorious life in this world by overcoming the evils and trials of this world. We believe that YOU are the true wisdom and knowing YOU and the faith in YOU, is the ultimate goal of wisdom. We beseech YOU to help us to ask and desire for the wisdom that is from above so that we may discern what is truth, and lead a victorious life so that we might be transformed to know YOU in a better way. We ask this, through YOUR SON, OUR LORD and SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST who reigns with YOU and the HOLY SPIRIT, one GOD, now and ever.
Amen.
