Act of Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary
Queen
of
the
Most
Holy Rosary, and tender Mother of all people, I consecrate myself
to you and to your Immaculate Heart, and recommend to you my family, my
country, and the whole human race.
Please accept my consecration,
dearest Mother, and use me as you wish, to accomplish your designs upon
the world.
O Immaculate Heart of Mary, Queen
of Heaven and Earth, rule over me, and teach me how to allow the Heart
of Jesus to rule and triumph in me and around me, as it has ruled and
triumphed
in you. Amen.
Act of Reparation
Most
Holy
Virgin
and
our beloved Mother, we listen with grief to the complaints
of
the Immaculate Heart, surrounded with the thorns which ungrateful men
place
therein at every moment by their blasphemies and ingratitude. Moved by
the ardent desire of loving thee as our Mother and of promoting a true
devotion to thy Immaculate Heart, we prostrate ourselves at thy feet to
prove the sorrow we feel for the grief that men cause thee and to atone
by means of our prayers and sacrifices for the offenses with which men
return thy tender love.
Obtain for them and for us the
pardon of so many sins. A word from thee will obtain grace and
forgiveness
for all.
Hasten, O Lady, the conversion
of sinners that they may love Jesus and cease to offend God, already so
much offended, and thus avoid eternal punishment. Turn thine eyes of
mercy towards
us so that henceforth we may love God with all our heartwhile on earth
and enjoy Him forever in Heaven. Amen.
