[ALL MAKING THE SIGN OF THE CROSS]
In the name of the Father, Who created me, and of the Son, Who redeemed me, and of the Holy Ghost, Who sanctifies me. Amen.
Desiring to consecrate myself entirely to Jesus Christ as His disciple, spouse, and member of His Mystical Body, the Church, I unite myself with the members of this lay monastic association, which has been established in and through Divine Merciful Love under the protection of Our Mother of Perpetual Help – the refuge and the hope of sinners.
I promise, moreover, to renew my commitment to our school of perfection – the school of Jesus Christ – in light of my Covenant Promises as a Transitus Oblate once a week and frequently to consult the Gospel, which is our primary Rule under the guidance of my superiors and the law of charity, in solidarity with my fellow oblates and in service to others – going from Gospel to life, and life to the Gospel.
As patron of Transitus – Oblates of the Last Martyrdom, I ask St. Francis (the “Little Poor Man” of Assisi) as well as St. Therese (the “Little Flower” of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face) and the Blessed Virgin Mary (Our Mother of Perpetual Help), to help me to obtain a perfect love for Our Lord Jesus Christ (Eternal and Sovereign High Priest and Infant King) and the graces necessary for eternal salvation.
[ALL BOWING]
In order to live in one single act of perfect Love, I offer myself as an oblate – a living sacrifice – to your Divine Merciful Love, asking You to consume me incessantly, allowing the waves of infinite tenderness stored up within You to overflow into my soul, and thus I may become a martyr of Your Love, O my God!
May this “last martyrdom”, after having prepared me to appear before You, finally cause me to die, and may my soul take its flight without any delay into the eternal embrace of Your Divine Merciful Love. I want, O my Beloved, at each beat of my heart to renew this offering to You an infinite number of times, until the shadows having disappeared, I may be able to tell You of my Love in an Eternal Face to Face!
[ALL RISING AND THEN MAKING THE SIGN OF THE CROSS]
In the name of the Father, Who created me, and of the Son, Who redeemed me, and of the Holy Ghost, Who sanctifies me. Amen.
