Consecration to our Blessed Mother Mary

(To be recited daily)

We kneel before you, as you yourself sit at the throne room of God, beside our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, your
Son. You more than anyone else embody the pure love of our Lord Jesus that we all desire to have, as your bore
Him in your womb, gave birth to Him, raised Him, suffered with Him through the Cross, and finally witnesses His
resurrection. You are the one whose soul perfectly proclaims the greatness of the Lord, whose spirit perfectly rejoices
in God our Savior. You are the one we and all ages will call blessed.
You are the highly favored one, and the Lord is truly with you. We thus look to you to be our Mediatrix, as we
continue on our journey in the world, proclaiming your Son Jesus and bringing His good news of salvation to all. We
recognized our weakness and sinfulness, and that apart from the power of God's Spirit, we can do nothing.
Dear Mother Mary, you are our inspiration for the strengthening of families and the promotion of the culture of life.
Pray and intercede for us always that we may remain faithful to our covenant, steadfast in our work, persevering
despite trials and crosses, and always mindful to the call to holiness and discipleship. You who are Holy and you,
who are the most faithful disciple of our Lord Jesus Christ, keep us in your loving embrace always.
We consecrate ourselves, our families and our work to you. Bless us dear mother and journey with us, as we
continue to journey with your beloved Son Jesus. You are our mother, and we your children, now and forever. Amen.
Hail Mary....
