Ignatian Educator’s Prayer
Loving God, our world is indeed charged with your grandeur for you labor with
and for us in all things to bring about the fullness of your Kingdom where justice,
love and peace will reign in the hearts of all your people.
Teach us, Lord, to be generous, Teach us to serve you as you deserve,
To lead our students to find joy in learning and to thirst for greater and
deeper knowledge of how they are called to labor with you in the wonder and
mystery of your ongoing work of creation,
To witness for our students the personal love and care that you have for each
of us so that they might attain the knowledge and freedom to achieve their full
potential as young men and women created in your image and likeness,
To teach as Jesus did so that by following his example our students will grow
up to be men and women in service with and for others as well as leading
discerners of your Spirit in the communities in which they live, work and worship,
To form our students into persons of intellectual competence, moral integrity
and religious conviction whose actions are informed by conscience, infused
with compassion and inspired by a commitment to a faith that seeks justice
for all your people, particularly among the poor, the suffering and the
neglected.
Bless us, Lord, and our mission as Ignatian educators. Guide us with your
Spirit that we may continually grow as a community of companions in the
ministry of teaching, working with and learning from one another to discern
how best to accompany our students on their journeys to becoming men and
women of the magis, asking always what more they can do for your greater
honor and glory.
Amen
