Prayer of Consecration to Our Lady 

O Mary, conceived without sin, we come to you today and give ourselves to you in a very special way. Take our hearts, our souls all that we do and say, from this moment until the time Jesus calls us to Himself. We do so at the foot of your altar promising to love you always and to imitate your virtues, especially to be pure in thought, word, and deed. Be with us always, Heavenly Mother. You are our Queen and therefore watch over us as your children. We love you, Mary, and belong to you, our Heavenly Mother and Queen. Amen.

Prayer of Consecration of the Family to the Blessed Mother 

In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.  Amen.

Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, and tender Mother of men, to fulfill the desires of the Sacred Heart,  we consecrate ourselves to thee, and to thy Immaculate Heart, and recommend to thee all the families of our nation and of all the world.

Please accept our consecration, dearest Mother, and use us and all families as thou wish, to accomplish thy designs upon the world.

O Immaculate Heart of Mary,  Queen of Heaven and earth, and of our family, rule over us, together with the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ, our King.  Save us from the spreading flood of modern paganism,  kindle in our hearts and homes the love of purity,  the practice of the Catholic life,  and an ardent zeal for souls and for the holiness of family life.

We come with confidence to thee,  O throne of grace and Mother of fair love; inflame us with the same divine fire  which has inflamed thy own Immaculate Heart.

Make our hearts and homes thy shrine, and through us make the Heart of Jesus rule and triumph in every family in the world.  Amen.
