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.
