Jesus, my Lord and Savior,
what can I give you in return
for all the favors you have first conferred on me?

I will take from your hand
the cup of your sufferings and call upon your name.

I vow before your eternal Father and the Holy Spirit,
before your most holy Mother and her most chaste spouse,
before the angels, apostles and martyrs,
before my blessed fathers Saint Ignatius and Saint Francis Xavier,
in truth, I vow to you, Jesus my Savior,
that as far as I have the strength,
I will never fail to accept the grace of martyrdom,
if someday you in your infinite mercy should offer it to me,
your most unworthy servant.

My beloved Jesus,
here and now I offer you my body and my blood and my life.

May I die only for you, if you will grant me this grace,
since you willingly died for me.

Let me so live that you may grant me the gift of such a happy death.

In this way, my God and Savior,
I will take from your hand the cup of your sufferings
and call upon your name: Jesus, Jesus, Jesus!

Father, you consecrated the first beginnings of the faith in North America
by the preaching and martyrdom of Saints John and Isaac and their companions.

By the help of their prayers
may the Christian faith continue to grow throughout the world.

We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.

Amen.
