OLF School Prayer
We ask you, Lord,
To help orient all our actions
By your inspiration
And carry them on
By your gracious assistance,
So that every prayer and work of ours
May always begin from you
And through you be happily ended.
*This is a variation of a prayer included by St. Ignatius of Loyola at the beginning of the Spiritual Exercises, which Jesuits have often used at the beginning of an undertaking.
