Amen.

Our Father, Hail Mary.

Indulgence of 100 days, once a day. — Pius VII, March 6, 1802.

Act of Consecration to St. Aloysius

O ST. ALOYSIUS, so renowned for thy purity of heart, thy humility, and obedience, thy special devotion to the Most Holy Sacrament, and thy tender love for the Blessed Virgin Mary, I consecrate myself to thee, beseeching thee to number me among thy fervent clients. Obtain that I may perfectly imitate all thy virtues, especially thy purity and perseverance. Help me with thy prayers, that I may never cease to love my God and sing His praises. Assist me by a special protection at the hour of my death, that I may present myself pure and stainless to the sovereign Judge and enjoy with thee eternal happiness. Amen.
