Litany: Knowing and Understanding
(based on 1 Corinthians 8:1-13)
We know so much.
We understand so little.
We value education.
Empower our values to blossom into
commitments that all children have access
to a quality education regardless of parents,
neighborhood, gifts, or disabilities.
We value intellectual pursuit.
Endow our scholarly inquiry with a quest
for spiritual awareness that the seeds of
knowledge may fall onto fertile ground.
We value academic success.
Enable us to cherish each child’s successes
recognizing your light beckoning from
within an infinite array of talents and
challenges.
We know so much.
We understand so little.
Lord in your mercy,
Hear our prayer.
