Our Lady Seat of Wisdom, pray for us!

O Mary, Seat of Wisdom, so many persons of common intellect have made through thy intercession admirable progress in their studies. I hereby choose thee as guardian and patron of my studies. I humbly ask thee to obtain for me the grace of the Holy Spirit, so that from now on I could

• understand more quickly,
• retain more readily, and
• express myself more fluently.

May the example of my life serve to honor thee and thy Son, Jesus.

Amen.
