O Christ the Teacher,
you are the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

Help me not only to strive to be called a good teacher, but to be one; not only to talk about you, but to make you present in my classroom; not only to encourage faith, hope, and love, but to embody those virtues to my students.

Inspire my planning, preparation, and teaching today, and open the hearts and minds of my students to respond generously to your invitation to know, love, and serve you.

Amen.
