O Almighty and Eternal God, to Whom all creatures in Heaven and
on earth owe their loyalty and obedience I whom Thou hast
created, redeemed and sanctified do this day in the presence
of Heaven and earth renew the solemn promises that I made in
Baptism or which my sponsors made for me on that great
day.
I once more and forever
renounce Satan and all
his works and all his pomps.
By which I mean all
worldliness, sinfulness and
wickedness. I renounce all
the false maxims of this
world, which teach men
to love ease, pleasure and
riches more than Thee. I
renounce all sinfulness
which leads men to
despise Thy laws and
break Thy Commandments.
I solemnly promise to
keep those Commandments
to the best of my ability
and in doing so to live
soberly, justly and piously
in this world, confidently
expecting that eternal life
and happiness which Thou promised to those who serve Thee.
I
likewise solemnly promise to keep the Commandments of
Thy Holy Church, to be faithful to prayer, to the frequent
reception of the Sacraments and all those
other duties which I owe to Thee.
Assist me in all my undertakings, bless me
in all my labors, comfort and strengthen
me in all my trials and temptations, and
in the end grant me the grace of final
perseverance. With these gifts, O God,
I am rich enough and I desire nothing more.
