I, Sister ___________, vow to Almighty God to live for the whole of my life the counsels of chastity, poverty, and obedience according to the Rule and Life of the Brothers and Sisters of the Third Order Regular of St. Francis and the Constitutions of the Franciscan Sisters Third Order Regular of Penance of the Sorrowful Mother. With our community as witnesses, I freely make my profession in your presence, (name of Reverend Mother). Relying on His mercy, I entrust my life to the chaste, poor, and obedient Christ. I freely choose to join our Sorrowful Mother at the foot of the cross, and, with St. Francis as my model of Gospel living, I place myself at the disposal of this religious congregation, to glorify God and to make known His merciful love.
