YMI MOTTO
PRO DEO (For God)
Come, O Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Your faithful and enkindle in them the fire of Your Love. Send forth Your Spirit, and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth.
Our Father who art in Heaven hallowed be thy name. Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever.
Amen
PRO PATRIA (For Country)
I Pledge Allegance To The Flag Of The United States Of America,And To The Republic For Which It Stands One Nation Under God, Indivisable With Liberty And Justice For All.
