Janus, come! The New Year is here, come and renew the sun.

Father Janus, to You I pray with good prayers, offering You this pile of cakes, so that You might willing be favorable to me and my children, to my home and household.

Janus, Jupiter, Mars Pater, Quirinus, Bellona, Lares, Divi Novensiles, Di Indigetes, Gods who have power over us and our enemies, and You Manes, to You I pray, I venerate, I ask Your divine favor and beseech You, that You prosper the virtuous might and victory of the Roman People, the Quirites, and upon the enemies of the Roman People, the Quirites, may You afflict them with terror, fear, and death. As I have pronounced the words, even so on behalf of the Republic of the Roman People, the Quirites, and of the Army, the legions and the auxiliaries of the Roman People, the Quirites, do I devote myself and with me the legions and auxiliaries of our enemies to the gods of the Underworld and to Mother Earth.

Attend and bless Your Senators and those of the people of Rome, the Quirites, and with a nod open Your gleaming gates onto peaceful precincts.
