O Mary,
Virgin most powerful
and Mother of mercy,
Queen of Heaven and
Refuge of sinners,
we consecrate ourselves
to thine Immaculate Heart.
We consecrate to thee
our very being and our whole life;
all that we have,
all that we love,
all that we are.
To thee we give our
bodies,
our hearts and our
souls;
to thee we give our
homes,
our families, our
country.
We desire that all that
is in us
and around us may
belong to thee,
and may share in the
benefits of thy motherly benediction.
And that this act of
consecration
may be truly
efficacious and lasting,
we renew this day at
thy feet the promises
of our Baptism and our
first Holy Communion.
We pledge ourselves to
profess courageously
and at all times the
truths of our holy Faith,
and to live as befits
Catholics
who are duly submissive
to all the directions
of the Pope and the
Bishops in communion with him.
We pledge ourselves to
keep the commandments
of God and His Church,
in particular to keep
holy the Lord\'s Day.
We likewise pledge
ourselves
to make the consoling
practices of the Christian religion,
and above all, Holy
Communion,
an integral part of our
lives,
in so far as we shall
be able so to do.
Finally, we promise
thee,
O glorious Mother of
God and loving Mother of men,
to devote ourselves
whole-heartedly
to the service of thy
blessed cult,
in order to hasten and
assure,
through the sovereignty
of thine Immaculate Heart,
the coming of the
kingdom of the Sacred Heart of thine adorable Son,
in our own hearts and
in those of all men,
in our country and in
all the world,
as in heaven,
so on earth.
Amen.
