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 Church,
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.
