"My brothers and sisters, let us pray to God the almighty Father, that through the intercession of the Saints of the Seraphic Order, and all the Saints, He may in His love bless with His grace these our sisters whom He has called to the perfect following of Christ, and with loving kindness strengthen them in their holy purpose."
"Inspired by the Holy Spirit to become a spouse of Christ and desiring to live the Gospel more intensely in the spirit of St. Francis and St. Clare, I, Sister ... vow to Almighty God, and promise to the Blessed Virgin Mary, to our Holy Father, Saint Francis, to our
Holy Mother Saint Clare, and to you, Mother Francis, to observe
for my entire life, the Constitutions of the Community of Franciscan Sisters of the Renewal, inspired by the Rule of Saint Francis of Assisi, living in obedience,
without property, in poverty and in chastity."
"Receive this ring, for you are betrothed to the eternal King; keep faith with your Bridegroom so that you may come to the wedding feast of eternal joy."
"Receive this crown of thorns as a memorial of your Beloved's passion and death. In partaking of His loving redemption of mankind may you find immortality. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."
"Receive the light of Christ as a sign of immortality, that living totally for Him, you may be His witness to others. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."
