Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

Most Holy Virgin Mary! Mother of God and my Mother! I consecrate myself to Your Immaculate Heart with all that I am and have. Take me under Your maternal protection! Preserve me from all dangers. Help me to overcome the temptations that lead me to evil, that I may preserve the purity of my body and soul. Your Immaculate Heart be my refuge and the way that leads me to God.

Obtain for me the grace to pray and sacrifice often for love of Jesus, for the conversion of sinners and in reparation for the sins committed against Your Immaculate Heart. In union with You and the Heart of Your divine Son, I desire to live in complete consecration to the Most Holy Trinity, in which I believe, which I worship, in which I hope, and which I love. Amen.

When we consecrate ourselves to the Mother of God in order to do everything with Mary, in Mary, through Mary and for Mary, she leads us surely to complete consecration to Jesus. At the same time, through this consecration we place our inner and outer possessions, yes even the value of all our good works, into the hands of Mary, that she may preserve, increase and beautify them. What we thus entrust to Mary cannot be taken from us by any human being, nor by the evil enemy, nor by our own frailty. Moreover, we thereby practice Christian charity to a high degree, because we allow Mary to dispose of our spiritual goods for the benefit of the living and the dead.
