God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant us in the same Spirit to be truly wise and ever to rejoice in His consolation. Through Christ our Lord.

R. Amen.

rant me  grace,  O  merciful  God,  to  desire ardently all  that  is  pleasing  to  Thee,  to  examine  it prudently,    to  acknowledge  it  truthfully,  and  to accomplish   it  perfectly, for the  praise  and  glory  of Thy  name. Amen.

His Holiness Pope  Leo  XIII,  by  a  rescript  of  the  Sacred Congregation of  Indulgences,  June  21,  1879,  granted  an indulgence  of  300  days  to  the  faithful  who,  before  studying or reading,  shall,  with  at  least  contrite  heart  and  devotion, recite this  prayer.
