Lay Missionaries Prayer of Consecration
Precious Lord, I consecrate myself to you this day so
that I may love you with all my heart, soul, mind and strength
and love my neighbor as myself. I promise to live a chaste,
obedient, and simple life of faith and to nurture these promises
through the spiritual disciplines of prayer, study, community
and apostolic witness. I ask all this through Jesus Christ, the
Author of Life. Amen!
