The Presider prays for God’s grace, saying
Let us pray to God the Father for these servants of his, who are resolved to renew their missionary commitment today in the presence of the Church.
Lord, in your providence you have called these servants of yours to follow your Son more closely as missionaries. Mercifully grant that they may persevere to the end along the way of your love on which they have set out with such joy. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Presider invites all Members present to recite with him the renewal of their Missionary Oath.
In the presence of the Most Blessed Trinity of Mary, the Virgin Mother of God, of Saint Joseph our Patron, and all the saints, I publicly declare before this community, that it is my sincere desire to follow Christ as a missionary. I solemnly consecrate myself under the oath for life to this Apostolic work as a Member of St. Joseph’s Missionary Society. I also promise obedience to the Superior General in accordance with the Constitutions of the Society.
The Presider invites all Associates present to renew their missionary commitment
I desire to share in the missionary task of St. Joseph’s Missionary Society, and wish to dedicate myself, in the spirit of the Gospel, to the missionary apostolate. I understand the meaning of Association, and I am ready to accept the duties and privileges of an Associate of the Society. I entrust my work as a lay missionary to the Lord of the harvest, through the intercession of Our Lady, Mother of the Church, and of St. Joseph, Patron of our Society.
