You are, O great St. Charles Borromeo,
among all the Saints of God,
one in whose intercession I should most confide,
because God chose you
to promote the interests of religion,
by promoting the Christian education of youth.
Preserve me by your prayers from the dangers of the world;
obtain that my heart may be impressed
with a lively horror of sin;
a deep sense of my duty as a Christian;
a sincere contempt for the opinion
and false maxims of the world;
an ardent love for God,
and that holy fear which is the beginning of wisdom.
