AN ACT OF CONSECRATION TO THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY
O
Immaculate Heart of Mary, Queen of
Heaven and Earth, and tender Mother of men, in accordance with thy ardent wish
made known at Fatima, I consecrate to thee myself, my brethren, my country, and
the whole human race.
Reign
over us and teach us how to make the Heart of Jesus reign
and triumph in us, and around us, as It has reigned and triumphed in thee.
Reign over us, dearest Mother, that we may be thine in prosperity and in
adversity, in joy and in sorrow, in health and in sickness, in life and in
death.
O
most compassionate Heart of Mary, Queen of Virgins, watch
over our minds and hearts and preserve them from the deluge of impurity which
thou didst lament so sorrowfully at Fatima. We want to be pure like thee. We
want to atone for the many crimes committed against Jesus and thee. We want to
call down upon our country and the whole world the peace of God in justice and
charity. Therefore, we now promise to imitate thy virtues by the practice of a
Christian life without regard to human respect.
We
resolve to receive Holy Communion on the First Saturday of every month (or
often if not possible every First Saturday) and to offer thee five decades of
the Rosary each day, together with our sacrifices, in the spirit of reparation
and penance. Amen.
