Act Of Consecration To The Immaculate Heart Of Mary

For newly-weds

    O Immaculate Heart of Mary, Queen of heaven and earth, and tender Mother of men; in accordance with thine ardent wish made known at Fatima, we wish to consecrate to thee our newly begun wedded life together.

Reign over us dearest Mother that we may be thine in prosperity and in adversity, in joy and in sorrow, in health and in sickness, in life and in death.

    O most compassionate Heart of Mary, Queen of Virgins, watch over our minds and hearts and preserve them from the deluge of impurity which thou didst lament so sorrowfully at Fatima. We want to be pure like thee. We want to atone for the many crimes committed against Jesus and thee. We want to call down upon our country and the whole human race, the peace of God in justice and charity.

    Therefore we now promise to imitate thy virtues by the practice of a Christian life in our family without regard to human respect.

    We resolve to receive Holy Communion regularly and to offer thee five decades of the Rosary daily as far as we can, together with our sacrifices in the spirit of reparation and penance, for the good of our souls, for the re-building of our Holy Mother the Church, and for the greater glory of God. Amen.
