Act of Self-Consecration after Holy Communion

O Lord, since I am Thy servant

and the son of Thy handmaid,

I renounce the devil and all his works and pomps;

all the vanity of this wicked world,

and all the sinful lusts of the flesh.

Thou alone art the God of my heart;

Thou, O God, art my portion for ever.

Thou art the portion of my inheritance

and and of my cup.

Thou art He that will restore my inheritance unto me.

Do Thou therefore take for Thine own all the powers of my soul,

my memory my intellect,

and my will all that I am,

and all that I have,

Thou hast bestowed upon me:

therefore I give back all to Thee,

and surrender it to be wholly governed

by Thy sovereign will.

Grant me by grace to love Thee alone,

and I am rich enough and ask no more.

Amen.
