Per CBCP Circular No. 19-15 dated September 19, 2019, this prayer is to be recited in Sunday Masses on October 3, 2021 and on Tuesday, October 5, 2021, National Teachers’ Day .
God of wisdom,
greatest Teacher of all,
look with love and kindness
on teachers everywhere.
Give them strength of body,
largeness of hearts
and soundness of mind
so that they may perform
their task with vigor, competence,
compassion and patience.
Help them to be committed
to their mission
to shape the tender minds
of the young in the knowledge
of the truth, the love for your creation
and the value of peace in this world.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen
