"'I. N., a faithless sinner-renew and ratify today in thy hands,
O Immaculate Mother, the vows of my Baptism; I renounce forever
Satan, his pomps and works; and I give myself entirely to
Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Wisdom, to carry my cross after Him
all the days of my life, and to be more faithful to Him than I
have ever been before.
"In the presence of all the heavenly court I choose thee this
day, for my Mother and Mistress. I deliver and consecrate to thee,
as thy slave, my body and soul, my goods, both interior and exterior,
and even the value of all my good actions; past, present and
future; leaving to thee the entire and full right of disposing of me,
and all that belongs to Die, without exception, according to thy
good pleasure, for the greater glory of God, in time and in eternity.
Amen."

Nihil Obstat: Thomas W. Smiddy, S.T.D., Cen. Lfh.
Imprimatur: Thomas Edmunds Molloy, Bishop of Brooklyn

St. Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle; be our protection
against the malice and snares of the devil. We humbly beseech
God to command him, and do thou, O prince of the
heavenly host, by the divine power thrust into hell Satan and the
other evil spirits who roam through the world seeking the ruin of
souls. Amen.

May the Lord preserve our Holy Father give
him life, and make him blessed upon earth, and deliver him not
to the will of his enemies.
LET US PRAY: O God, the Shepherd and Ruler of all the faithful,
in Thy mercy look down upon Thy servant, whom
Thou hast appointed to preside over Thy Church, and grant we beseech
Thee that both by word and example he may edify those
who are under his charge; so that, with the flock entrusted to him.
he may attain life everlasting. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Kindly include in your daily prayers our president and government
officials.
