Act of consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary
(St. Louis De Montfort’s Consecration)
I, a faithless sinner –
renew and ratify today in your hands,
O Immaculate Mother,
the vows of my Baptism;
I renounce forever Satan,
his pomps and works;
and I give myself entirely to Jesus Christ,
the Incarnate Wisdom,
to carry my cross after Him
all the days of my life,
and to be more faithful to Him
than I have ever been before.
In the presence of all the heavenly court
I choose you this day,
for my Mother and Mistress.
I deliver and consecrate to you,
my body and soul,
my goods, both interior and exterior,
and even the value of all my good actions,
past, present and future;
leaving to you the entire
and full right of disposing of me,
and all that belongs to me, without exception,
according to your good pleasure,
for the greater glory of God,
in time and in eternity.
Amen.
