Apostle of Christ and glorious martyr,
I desire to honour you
with a special devotion.
I choose you as my patron and protector.
To you I entrust my soul and my body,
all my spiritual and temporal interests,
as well as those of my family.
To you I consecrate
my mind so that in all things
it may be enlightened by faith,
my heart so that you may keep it
my heart so that you may keep it
pure and fill it with love
for Jesus and Mary,
my will so that,
like yours, it may always be one
like yours, it may always be one
with the Will of God.
Amen.
