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 sins committed against Jesus and thee. / We want to call down upon our country and the whole world / the peace of God and injustice and charity. /

 

Therefore, we now promise to imitate thy virtues by the practice of a Christian life / without regard to human respect, O Mary, help us to receive Holy Communion on the first Saturday of every month / and to offer thee five decades of the Rosary each day / together with our sacrifices in a spirit of reparation and penance. Amen.
