'We recognize that we are brought together by listening to the World of God, by prayer in common, by the Eucharist and by having things in common' (Documents of 25th General Chapter, No. 1)
Consecration to Mary Help of Christians
G. Let us renew our consecration to God and our dedication to our mission on behalf of youth, let us ask Our Lady for the gift of fidelity.
A. Most holy and Immaculate Virgin, Help of Christians, Mother of the Church, foundress and support of our Congregation, we place ourselves under your motherly protection, and faithful to our Salesian vocation, we promise to work always for the greater glory of God and for the salvation of souls.
With trust in your intercession, we pray for the Church, for our Congregation and the Salesian Family, for the youth, especially those most in need, and for all men redeemed by Christ.
You were Don Bosco´s teacher; show us how to imitate his virtues, especially his union with God, his purity, humility and poverty, his love for work and for temperance, his kindness and his whole-hearted service of others, his loyalty to the Pope and to the bishops of the Church.
Grant, O Mary Help of Christians, that we may serve God with fidelity and generosity until death.
Help us to come at last to the endless joy of life together in our Father's home in heaven. Amen
