## Prayer of Commendation
231. <rubric>The minister then says one of the following prayers.</rubric>
A.
Into your hands, Father of mercies, we commend our brother (sister) N. in the sure and certain hope that, together with all who have died in Christ, he (she) will rise with him on the last day.
[We give you thanks for the blessings which you bestowed upon N. in this life: they are signs to us of your goodness and of our fellowship with the Saints in Christ.]
Merciful Lord, turn toward us and listen to our prayers: open the gates of paradise to your servant and help us who remain to comfort one another with assurances of faith, until we all meet in Christ and are with you and with our brother (sister) for ever.
Through Christ our Lord.
℟. Amen.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:sbbklyrrb5xfb43mfhypi2f7/bafkreihspiq3x27kpumuvjo6luir67qthj37hlzq2ksedvej5ltd2ypzjm)
![## Profession of Vows
(please be seated)
> “First vows are taken during a Eucharistic celebration, in the presence of some residents of the house, not excluding relatives, but avoiding too much solemnity, according to the formula prescribed in the Constitutions, P. V, c. 4, no. 4 [540], and in an approved vernacular translation; after the vows, those pronouncing them should receive the Body and Blood of the Lord.”
> — Constitutions of the Society of Jesus, Complementary Norm 131, §1
----
Almighty and eternal God, I, _NN_, understand how unworthy I am in your divine sight. Yet I am strengthened by your infinite compassion and mercy, and am moved by the desire to serve you.
I vow to your divine majesty, before the most holy Virgin Mary and the entire heavenly court, perpetual ***poverty, chastity, and obedience*** in the Society of Jesus. I promise that I will enter this same Society to spend my life in it forever. I understand all these things according to the Constitutions of the Society of Jesus.
Therefore, by your boundless goodness and mercy and through the blood of Jesus Christ, I humbly ask that you judge this total commitment of myself acceptable; and, as you have freely given me the desire to make this offering, so also give me the abundant grace to fulfill it.

![a screenshot of VS Code showing a TypeScript file. We can see the following:
```typescript
type HeartStatus = "prepared" | "hardened" | "conflicted";
// [obscured text]
function wordOfGod(heartStatus: HeartStatus): void {
if (heartStatus != "prepared") {
return;
// [file continues]
```
There is a linter's red squiggle under the function's return type `void`, with the error declared as `isaiah/word-of-god-not-void` and the following message --- Invalid function signature: "The Word of God shall not return void..."
