This is the act of consecration made once per year by the Daughters of St. Philip Neri.

My dearest Jesus,

Today I make of myself an offering to you, consecrating myself to the work of prayer on behalf of priests for the sake of the cause of their holiness and in reparation for sins against your priesthood.  I commit myself this day to being a spiritual mother for priests.  Give me the grace, O Lord, to be a true mother to my spiritual sons.  Help me to support them in their vocation as your priests.  When they falter in the making of their priestly offering to you, please accept my maternal offering in its stead: When they do not pray, accept my prayer; when they fail in devotion to your sacrifice, accept my devotion to your sacrifice.  Help me to be for priests as your mother was for you.  As she stood by you faithfully at the foot of the Cross, allow me to stand beside your priests as they make their sacrifice to you.  

My intention is to practice daily devotion to you in your Eucharistic sacrifice, to pray without ceasing in union with your sacrifice of love.  I will do my best to attend Mass daily with the intention of offering my presence and prayer for the renewal of priestly devotion to the Eucharist sacrifice.  I promise to offer you an hour of prayer each day, keeping the intention of priests lively in my heart.  Where possible, I will undertake my hour, or some portion of it, before the Blessed Sacrament in Eucharistic adoration.  I will pray the rosary daily, drawing close to the Great Mother of God in order to sustain my commitment to being a spiritual mother to priests.  

As I embark upon this year long commitment, I ask the special protection, patronage, and guidance of St. Philip Neri.  As his daughter, I desire to grow in the virtues he so beautifully exemplified: Charity, Purity, Humility, Joy, Compassion, Kindness, and Hiddenness.  I will seek to reform the Church in the manner that St. Philip did, by being formed aright in my own mind and heart, and living that renewal daily in my life.  

“O my Jesus, allow me to enter so deeply into the wound in Your open side that I may never be able to find again the road which leaves You.”

                                                                                                                                    Amen.
