Christ our Teacher,
You dwell deep within each of our students:
In those who struggle academically,
and in those who excel;
in those who week attention by acting out, and in those
who remain silent and try to hide from notice;
in those surrounded by friends,
and in those feeling lonely.
Give us the grace to know your presence in each of them
and to respond to their needs as you would to ours.
Amen.
