PRAYER BEFORE READING THE BIBLE:
Lord, may Your Sacred Scripture be my delight.
Let me praise You for all the truths
I discover in these sacred books.
Help me to listen to the voice of the Spirit:
refresh me as I meditate
on the wonders of Your law.
PRAYER AFTER READING THE BIBLE:
Lord, You have words of eternal life.
I adore You, I praise You,
I beseech You, and I thank You
for the gift of Sacred Scripture.
