Individual consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary
Oh, my Virgin, Oh, my Mother,
I offer myself entirely to your Immaculate Heart
and I consecrate my body and my soul to you,
my thoughts and my actions.
I want to be like you want me to be
do what you want me to do.
I am not afraid, for you are always with me.
Help me to love your son Jesus,
With all my heart and above all things.
Put my hand in yours so that it is always with you.
Consecration of home and family to the Immaculate Heart of Mary
Oh Virgin Mary! Today we want to consecrate our home and those who inhabit it to your Most Pure Heart.
May our house, like yours in Nazareth, become an oasis of peace and happiness through:
– the fulfillment of the will of God,
– the practice of charity,
– and abandonment to Divine Providence,
May we all love each other as Christ taught us! Help us to always live Christianly and wrap us in your tenderness.
I ask You for the children that God has given us (the names are mentioned) so that you free them from all evil and danger of soul and body, and keep them within Your Immaculate Heart. Deign, our Mother, to transform our home into a little heaven, all consecrated to your Immaculate Heart. Amen.
Immaculate Heart of Mary, save us!
What is the Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary?
A promise of love where everything that the family is, has and does is given to Jesus through the Immaculate Heart of the Virgin Mary, to live fully surrendered to the will of the Father.
The family is left in the hands of the Virgin Mary so that she may exercise her role as spiritual Mother, Mediatrix of graces, Advocate and Queen.
The ultimate goal of all consecration is Jesus; The Virgin Mary is the effective means to achieve greater union with Christ and is a source of maternal protection against Satan.
Through consecration, the members of the family are to become like Saint Joseph, totally dedicated to Jesus and Mary. They must ask God for the grace to live faithful to this consecration, recognizing that they belong to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, who must be the center of every aspect of their lives, decisions, relationships, etc.
What are the fruits of the Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary?
Allow the Most Holy Virgin to freely use her power of intercession and sanctification for the growth of her family in grace.
Our Lady respects the will of each one and therefore waits for the family to consecrate itself freely in order to then fully exercise its mission. First you have to open the doors and then respond faithfully to everything that Our Lady asks to bring us closer to the Heart of Jesus.
The Virgin Mary will be a Source of Protection: Because of the free decision you have made, your family belongs to the Heart of Mary, and they will be protected spiritually.
It will obtain graces for you to live in virtue and help you to open your hearts to live the virtues that are found in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Especially humility, meekness, sacrificial love, purity and obedience
It will also help them exercise the virtues that build and maintain family unity, such as peace, order, respect, delicacy, thinking of the other first, self-sacrifice, communication, and above all, charity.
How should a Family consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary live?
-Fidelity to the Church and the Sacraments, especially the Eucharist and regular Confession.
