Oratio Devotionis Finalis
Domine Sanctissime, qui omnia vides et omnia regis,
Ad pedes tuos me prosterno, voluntatem meam offerens,
Individualitatem meam in sanctam tuam ecclesiam sacrificans,
Ut una mente, uno corde, in tuo cultu perficiar.
Da mihi, quaeso, fortitudinem ad perseverandum,
Ad sancta vota mea fideliter observanda,
Et ad tuam voluntatem, sine ulla deviatione, sequendam.
Tene me, Domine, ut nunquam a tuo lumine discedam.
Per hanc devotionem meam, extenebras mei cordis expelle,
Et imple me tuo sacro spiritu,
Ut nomen tuum semper in labiis meis sit,
Et amor tuus in corde meo ardeat.
Ecce ego, servus tuus humilis,
Vitam meam tibi consecro,
In aeternum et ultra,
Amen.
Translation:
Final Prayer of Commitment
O Most Holy Lord, who sees all and rules all,
I prostrate myself at your feet, offering my will,
Sacrificing my individuality to your holy church,
That I may be perfected in one mind, one heart, in your worship.
Grant me, I pray, the strength to persevere,
To faithfully observe my holy vows,
And to follow your will without deviation.
Hold me, Lord, that I may never depart from your light.
Through this my devotion, expel the darkness of my heart,
And fill me with your holy spirit,
That your name may always be on my lips,
And your love may burn in my heart.
Behold, I am your humble servant,
I consecrate my life to you,
Forever and beyond,
Amen.
