Please pray for me, as I decided to return to college to get a B.A. in English, minoring in religion. I feel a little out of place as I'm quite a bit older than most of the students (I live in campus), plus it's been a couple years since I've been a student, so I'm struggling to get into the swing of it. Also, I began smoking again after a year and a half of being smoke free. It's expensive (even more so as of late) and deadly. Those of you who've been there know how hard it is to quit. Please pray for that, too! Thanks!

Through the intercession of St. Basil the Great, I offer my prayers for your new academic endeavors.

Prayers.

Christ my Lord, the Giver of light and wisdom, who opened the eyes of the blind man and transformed the fishermen into wise heralds and teachers of the gospel through the coming of the Holy Spirit, shine also in my mind the light of the grace of the Holy Spirit. Grant discernment, understanding and wisdom in learning. Enable W. to complete the assignments and to abound in every good work, for to You I give honor and glory. Amen.
