Receive me, O Mary, Mother, Teacher, and Queen, among those whom you love, nourish, sanctify, and guide, in the school of Jesus Christ, the Divine Master.
You see in the mind of God those whom he calls, and for them you have special prayers, grace, light, and consolations. My Master, Jesus Christ, entrusted himself wholly to you from the Incarnation to the Ascension. For me this is doctrine, example, and an ineffable gift. I too place myself entirely into your hands. Obtain for me the grace to know, imitate, and love ever more the Divine Master, Way, Truth, and Life. Present me to Jesus, for I am an unworthy sinner, and I have no other recommendation to be admitted to his school than your recommendation.
Enlighten my mind, fortify my will, sanctify my heart during this year of my spiritual work, so that I may profit from this great mercy, and may say at the end: “I live now not I, but Christ lives in me.”
St. Paul the Apostle, my Father and most faithful disciple of Jesus, strengthen me. I wish to do my utmost, my very utmost, so that Jesus Christ may be formed in me.
