O Mary, my Mother,
I offer you my soul, my mind, and my heart.
Make of me God's instrument.

Give me a mind that is penetrating to discover,
firm to judge,
open to understand,
free to serve the truth;

an honest mind in telling what it sees,
rather than what it wants to see;

a tolerant mind which does not dictate to other people,
but which explains what it sees clearly;

a mind infused by the light and the
truth of your Son Jesus,
patient in faith,
while waiting for the vision of eternal life.

Amen.
