Found in Stephen Ray's imposing study St. John's Gospel

A Prayer for Scripture Study from Origen
Lord, inspire us to read your Scriptures and to meditate upon them day and night. We beg you to give us real understanding of what we need, that we in turn may put its precepts into practice. Yet we know that understanding and good intentions are worthless, unless rooted in your graceful love. So we ask that the words of Scriptures may also be not just signs on a page, but channels of grace into our hearts.

In light of my recent posts - very helpful, Steven. Thanks!

I have a Catholic Bible Reading Guide which I will send to anyone who would like it free, by email. It helps keep track of what you read to
facilitate reading the entire Bible every year.
