O Most Sacred Heart, Eternal Flame of unceasing love for Thy Church and for souls redeemed by Thy Precious Blood, we prostrate now before Thee in profound adoration. Thou art the King of this wold and of all that it contains. In these days, when the sacrifice of Thy Cross is scorned, when the light of Thy truth is clouded, and when the enemies of our Father in Heaven multiply and grow stronger, we entrust to Thy merciful omnipotence the priests, seminarians, faithful, and all works of the Floridian apostolate of the Society of Saint Pius X.

O Divine Heart, pierced by the lance of cowardice and ingratitude, enflame in the hearts of Thy priests a zeal for souls that is governed by courage and inspired by love for Thy Heart and the Father’s Holy Will. Grant them, and the faithful souls that they lead, an unshakeable fidelity to the Deposit of Faith passed down to them from the Apostles, and a purity of faith unspoiled by the murky waters of Modernism and compromise. May they defend the ancient truths that are the foundations and the crowning wonder of the City of God, with the same courage and tenacity shown by the heart of St. Pius X, Thy Faithful servant who never failed to defend the unshakeable doctrine of the Church against the errors of the age.

O Immaculate Heart of Mary, most sorrowful and pure Mother of God and the Church, great refuge of sinners and Queen of All Martyrs, watch over the priests and faithful and protect them with the glorious mantle of Thy maternal love. Thou Warrior Queen who did crush the head of the serpent and waged war against the enemies of Thy Divine Son, make bold these souls and give them the strength to be pure and unwavering in the face of the glamorous yet deadly gifts offered by the world, the flesh and the devil. Grant to our priests the sacrificial priesthood of Calvary, to the faithful the heroic virtues of Nazareth, and to the apostolate the abundant fruits that can only flow from Thy Immaculate Heart so united to the Sacred Heart of Thy Son.

O Glorious St. Joseph, Patron of the Universal Church, Terror of Demons and Protector of the Holy Family, watch over the apostolate of Florida with the same fervor and love with which Thou faithfully guarded the Christ Child and His Holy Mother. Foster in the priests of Florida the holy silence of heart that ruled Thy own hidden life of Nazareth. Give them the courage to be just and obedient, prayerful and humble as they lead the faithful into the wilderness of our modern age. Protect our families and help them to seek after the Will of God with a holy ambition, a humble heart, and a deep and profound love for the Sacrifice of the Mass, the Most Holy Eucharist and an enduring devotion to the Mother of God. Set within our fathers an unquenchable desire to live faithfully and lead courageously their families each day of their lives for the conquest of all hearts under the banner of Christ our King.

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, and Most Chaste Heart of St. Joseph, we consecrate to Thee, with hearts emptied of self yet full of love, all of the apostolate of Tradition in Florida. Its priests, its families, its schools, its missions, and all souls committed to its care we place upon the altar of sacrifice and consecrate wholly and entirely to the Will of the Father now and forever. Amen.
