                                                 Amen.

 “I declare before you all that my whole life whether it be long or short shall be devoted
 to your service... But I shall not have strength to carry out this resolution alone unless
 you join in it with me, as I now invite you to do: I know that your support will be
 unfailingly given. God help me to make good my vow, and God bless all of you who
 are willing to share in it.”
