Lord Jesus Christ,
King of the Universe,
In whom the world
and history find their center.
Who did in your wisdom gifted the world
With the new vocation of lay consecration
And did inspire your servants
Armida Barelli and Agostino Gemelli
To work tirelessly to bring forth this gift,
In this year of the 100th anniversary
Of the first professions at San Damiano,
We thank you and implore you to bless us
Your daughters, living and deceased,
And inspire us to continue to carry forth
This precious gift to the ends of the earth.
