Under
your patronage, dear Mother, and calling on the mystery of your
Immaculate Conception, I desire to pursue my studies and my literary
works: I hereby solemnly declare that I am giving myself to these
studies chiefly with the following goal: that I may the better
contribute to the glory of God and to the promotion of your
veneration among men. I ask you, therefore, most loving Mother, who
are the Seat of Wisdom, to bless my work in your loving-kindness. I
also promise with true affection and a willing spirit, as it is right
that I should do, to ascribe all the good that shall come to me from
my studies, wholly to your intercession for me in God's holy
presence.
Amen.
