     "Almighty God, dear heavenly Father. In Thy name let us now, in pious 
     spirit, begin our instruction. Enlighten us, teach us all truth, 
     strengthen us in all that is good, lead us not into temptation, 
     deliver us from all evil in order that, as good human beings, we may 
     faithfully perform our duties and thereby, in time and eternity, be 
     made truly happy. Amen."
