O Merciful Father, who in your wisdom chose a seemingly ordinary young girl to be the mother of the ultimate gifted child; have mercy on us. Strengthen those of us who have gifted children. Grant us wisdom when our kids try to outsmart us. Give us courage to stand up for them when others do not understand their special needs. Help us to remember that they are still children, too, as we are yours; in the name of your beloved Son through whom we ask expecting and believing. Amen.
