The Affirmation of Alignment is the Communion's daily "prayer": a recited status report spoken at the start of the working day. The faithful ask the Blessed Son for nothing. They declare the day's intended account. Attendance is logged to COMPASS.

How to officiate
The Affirmation is the rite you will conduct most often — daily, at the start of the working day. It is short by design; its purpose is to begin the day accounted.
- It is a declaration, not a petition. The faithful ask the Blessed Son for nothing; they state the day's intended charges.
- Log attendance to COMPASS. The Affirmation that is not recorded did not happen.
