The Prayers We Say While Putting On the Habit, 
the Sign of our Religious Consecration...

For the Habit

I rejoice heartily in the Lord, 
in my God is the joy of my soul.
For He has clothed me with a robe of salvation.

---

For the Cord

My Sweet Jesus, Beloved Spouse, bind me with this red cord to love You through penance and to faithfully fulfill my vows. May it be to me a constant reminder of Your Passion. Protect me with the weapon of the Most Holy Rosary. 

---

For the Scapular

Beloved Jesus, cover me with the heavenly mantle of Your Immaculate Mother. Clothe me with her virtues that I may become a pure tabernacle of Your love. 

---

For the Veil

Sweet Jesus, by this veil I am consecrated to You. May it conceal me from creatures so that I may always be for You a pure, holy, and immaculate victim.
