This Sunday, during the Divine Liturgy, we had a special blessing of our students as they begin the new academic year.
A new academic year is a new beginning, bringing new knowledge, challenges, and opportunities. Together, we prayed for our children and students, asking the Lord to bless them with wisdom, understanding, patience, and all the graces they need in their studies.
Lord, bless our children, guide them in every step, help them overcome difficulties, bless them with good friends, teachers, and mentors, and protect them from all harm. May Your grace accompany them throughout the entire academic year. Amen.
May the Lord bless all our students and grant them a successful, fruitful, and peaceful academic year!
