Almighty God, You have generously made known to human beings
the mysteries of Your life
through Jesus Christ Your Son in the Holy Spirit.
Enlighten my mind to know these mysteries
which Your Church treasures and teaches.
Move my heart to love them
and my will to live according to them.
Give me the ability to teach this Faith to others without pride,
without ostentation, and without personal gain.
Let me realize that I am simply Your instrument
for bringing others to the knowledge of the wonderful things
You have done for all Your creatures.
Help me to be faithful to this task
that You have entrusted to me.
Amen.
