A Prayer for Studying the Faith and Act of Consecration
(Raccolta Prayer 763)
Under thy patronage, dear Mother, and invoking the mystery of Thine Immaculate Conception, I desire to pursue my studies and my literary labors: I hereby solemnly declare that I am devoting myself to these studies chiefly to the following end: that I may better contribute to the glory of God and to the spread of Thy veneration among men. I pray Thee, therefore, most loving Mother, who art the Seat of Wisdom, to bless my labors in Thy loving kindness. Moreover, I promise with true affection and a willing spirit, as it is right that I should do, to ascribe all the good that shall accrue to me therefrom, wholly to Thine intercession for me in God’s holy presence. Amen.
St. Thomas Aquinas, pray for us.
