Of a Theologian and Teacher
O God, who by thy Holy Spirit dost give to some the word of
wisdom, to others the word of knowledge, and to others the
word of faith: We praise thy Name for the gifts of grace
manifested in thy servant N, and we pray that thy Church
may never be destitute of such gifts; through Jesus Christ our
Lord, who with thee and the Holy Spirit liveth and reigneth,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Almighty God, who didst give to thy servant N special
gifts of grace to understand and teach the truth as it is in
Christ Jesus: Grant, we beseech thee, that by this teaching we
may know you, the one true God, and Jesus Christ whom
thou hast sent; who liveth and reigneth with thee and the
Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
