Saint John Baptist de La Salle Laminated Holy Card

Prayer on back: Teacher’s Prayer
James J. Metcalf 
I want to teach my students how—
To live this life on earth, 
To face its struggles and its strife 
And to improve their worth. 
Not just the lesson in a book, 
Or how the rivers flow, 
But to choose the proper path, 
Wherever they may go. 
To understand eternal truth, 
And know right from wrong, 
And gather all the beauty of 
A flower and a song, 
For if I help the world to grow 
In wisdom and grace, 
Then I feel that I have won 
And I have filled my place. And so I ask your guidance, God 
That I may do my part, 
For character and confidence 
And happiness of heart. Amen.

“A partial indulgence is granted to the faithful who… raise their mind with humble confidence to God.”
