Adonai, all things begin in You. Pour out your spirit upon us. You are our God and we are Your people.
We, Swords of Joan, realize that although our battlefield may differ from hers, we will have courage.

What we are to strive for as Knights of the Holy Queen is not only the greater glory of God, but the greatest glory we can possibly give him. “Whence follows the first and most essential condition, that you offer yourself totally to the Immaculata.” In doing so we are to give her our bodies and souls as her possessions, along with all our daily prayers and chores to offer as gifts to her Son.
