In this episode, we continue our reading of Genesis and discuss Abraham's various acts of faith and sacrifice.  By understanding the story of Abraham and Isaac, we can better understand Christ's sacrifice for us.

A Student Prayer to Saint Anthony of Padua

O glorious St. Anthony divinely endowed with the learning of Saints. I desire to place my studies under Your protection. Guided by Your example I wish to draw all knowledge from the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Mary.

With your assistance I will study to do my duty in a spirit of penance and with a pure intention. May the Father of light grant me through Your intercession a bright intellect, a sound judgment and a retentive memory.

Help me to study patiently, orderly and constantly to develop in me the gifts of God and always make good use of them according to His divine will.

O Dear St. Anthony, grant me to succeed in all my studies and examination if it be for the greater glory of God and the benefit of my soul.
