Liber Sapientiae, 9: 1-6
Deus patrum meorum et Domine misericordiae,qui fecisti omnia verbo tuo et sapientia tua constituisti hominem,ut dominaretur creaturis, quae a te factae sunt, et disponeret orbem terrarum in sanctitate et iustitiaet in directione cordis iudicium iudicaret, da mihi sedium tuarum assistricem sapientiamet noli me reprobare a pueris tuis, quoniam servus tuus sum ego et filius ancillae tuae,homo infirmus et exigui temporiset minor ad intellectum iudicii et legum. Nam, et si quis erit consummatus inter filios hominum,si ab illo abfuerit sapientia tua, in nihilum computabitur.

St. Catherine, pray for us!
