A Collect for prayer on this day
O Lord, our heavenly Father, whose blessed Son came not to be served, but to serve; we ask you to bless all who, following in his steps, give themselves to serve students at UVA. Fill them with wisdom, patience, and courage to strengthen the weak and raise up those who fall; that, being inspired by your love, they may worthily minister in your name to students, especially those who are suffering, friendless, or in need; For the sake of him who laid down his life for us, your Son our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.

A Collect for prayer each day
Almighty God, by your gift alone we come to wisdom and true understanding: Look with favor, we pray, on our universities, colleges, and schools, especially the University of Virginia, that knowledge may be increased among us, and all good learning flourish and abound. Bless those who teach and those who learn; and grant that in humility of heart they may ever look to you, the fountain of all wisdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
