College Prayer – St. Mary’s College

Our Loving and Merciful God,

We, the St. Mary’s College family,

humbly place ourselves before You,

the source of all wisdom, truth, and love.

We thank You for the gift of life,

for the beauty of creation,

and for the grace that guides our journey each day.

As we begin our work and learning,

bless our minds to seek knowledge sincerely,

our hearts to remain rooted in compassion,

and our hands to serve with dedication and humility.

May our pursuit of education shape us

into responsible citizens,

committed to justice, peace, and human dignity.

Inspired by the example of Mother Mary,

teach us obedience to Your will,

faithfulness in times of trial,

and courage to stand for what is right.

Help us to grow in discipline and character,

to respect one another,

and to work together in unity and harmony.

Protect our institution,

our teachers, students, staff, and benefactors.

Guide us to use our talents wisely,

to speak truth with love,

to act with integrity,

and to remain hopeful even in moments of difficulty.

May our college be a beacon of knowledge and values,

a place where faith and reason walk together,

and where every effort becomes

an offering pleasing to You.

Bless our Motherland with peace, progress,

and prosperity.

We ask all this through Your loving mercy.

Amen.
