ADMISSION TO THE CONFRATERNITY 247 4. That through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary we may grow in holiness and work generously for the salvation of souls, let us pray to the Lord. ℟. 5. That we may receive the gift of final perseverance and so enter the joy of Heaven, let us pray to the Lord. ℟. PRIEST’S PRAYER O God, the author and perfecter of all holiness, You call all who are reborn of water and the Holy Spirit to the fullness of the Christian life and the perfection of charity. Look with kindness on those who will join today the Confraternity of the Immaculate Conception and who will devoutly receive the Blue Scapular in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary Immaculately Conceived. As long as they live, let them become sharers in the image of Christ Your Son and, after they have fulfilled their mission on earth with the help of Mary, the Virgin Mother, receive them into the joy of Your heavenly home. Through Christ our Lord. ℟. Amen.
