Looking for a prayer to say before reading Scripture

[NotWorthy]

My brothers and sisters,

I love to read the Scriptures and have become rather comfortable with them. But I know that there is always so much more to learn. With that in mind, I know that coming to a fuller understanding of the Scriptures is a Grace that comes from God.

Is there a prayer that any of you know of that is aimed at this goal?

Thank you in advance!

I found this one on the Catholic Doors website. It might not be exactly what you’re looking for, but it’s a start.

***Lord, open our hearts: ***
Let Your Spirit speak to us
As we read Your Word.

Thanks so much, Scout!

I like this one:

Come Holy Spirit, and fill the hearts of your faithful, and kindle in them the fire of Your Divine Love. Send forth Your Spirit and they shall be created, and You shall renew the face of the earth. Oh God, Who by the light of the Holy Spirit instructed the hearts of the faithful, Grant, that by the same Spirit we may be truly wise and ever rejoice in His consolation. We ask this through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
