Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I would agree that the covers of most of the Catholic Youth Bibles lack gravitas (and durability). This was one reason I ended up buying two bibles for my twelve year old daughter for her confirmation, as I wanted her to have a nice looking bible that she would be happy to use for years.

I ended up buying her this one, Ignatius Travel Bible which has a presentation page and pages to record sacraments and family history but no study pages, as it would travel well with her (The large family Bible I received at confirmation was a bit of a bother when I was a university student) and it's the one she normally uses rather then the study bible.
