Act of Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of the Virgin of Artiguelongue

O Mary, O Mother of the Immaculate Conception!

You are the Mother of Jesus Christ Our Lord, the Mother of the Church and the Mother of all men.

You are also my Mother and my Protector.

I turn to You in the midst of life's ups and downs and I entrust myself to You to overcome all my difficulties.

I remember that you allowed your son to incarnate in our midst to free us from evil for seven generations, including our grandparents and parents.

I am aware that through your sacrifice your Son sacrificed His Life to redeem us from sin.

I am grateful to you for helping me to accomplish the Divine Will

as your Son recommends.

I beg you, O Mother, to look upon my heart and my life as your child.

I ask you to take care of me and to purify me in the depths of my being so that I enter into a healthy life.

I believe, O Mother, that all the power of Christ rests in your hands and that all the love of His Heart comes through Yours.

I address You, O Mother, in the name of my family, my friends and my country, that the Kingdom of Your Son may be established.

I entrust myself to You, O Mother, so that the Church and the World may carry out their mission to protect all people of every race, language and culture.

O Mother, make me always belong to the Heavenly Father so that His Will may always be the desire of my life.

O Mother, by uniting myself to You, I consecrate myself to You and I commit myself to live, in my daily life, the Word of Your Son.

O Mother, Queen of Peace, make me an instrument of joy and may my life be a blessing for the Glory of God and for the Peace of mankind.

Amen
