October 21 (Catholic education)
Heavenly Father, Saint Ursula loved children and
became a teacher. She taught them about the Good News and instructed them in
how to lead holy lives. She is the patron saint of Catholic education,
students, and teachers. I ask her to intercede for the Catholic schools in my
area, that whatever problems they face are resolved according to Your wisdom,
O Lord. Bless their teachers; may they remain true to the Gospel in all of
their lessons. Bless the students; may they learn about the Faith and also how
to live the Faith. Provide Catholic education to families who cannot afford
the normal tuition. Saint Ursula, pray for us. Amen.
