Almighty God, you gave your servant N. special gifts of grace to understand and teach the truth revealed in Christ Jesus: Grant that by this teaching we may know you, the one true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Preface of a Teacher of the Faith
For you have imparted gifts of wisdom and knowledge to those who teach the Gospel in word and deed, to build up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God.
