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.
