I, an unworthy Christian/ renew and ratify today in thy hands, O Immaculate Virgin Mary/ the vows of my Baptism;/ I renounce forever Satan and all his works;/ I give myself entirely to Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Wisdom/ that I may carry my cross after Him all the days of my life/ and 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./ As thy slave I deliver and consecrate to thee my body and my soul/ all that I have of interior and exterior goods/ including all the value of my good actions, past, present, and future;/ giving to thee the entire and full right of disposing of me/ and all that belongs to me, without exception/ according to thy will, for the greater honor and glory of God in time and eternity. Amen./
"Now if, because of our sins also which were as yet in the future, but were foreseen, the soul of Christ became sorrowful unto death, it cannot be doubted that then, too, already He derived somewhat of solace from our reparation, which was likewise foreseen, when 'there appeared to Him an angel from heaven' (Luke XXII,43), in order that His Heart, oppressed with weariness and anguish, might find consolation. And so even now, in a wondrous yet true manner, we can and ought to console that most Sacred Heart which is continually wounded by the sins of thankless men..."
