Consecration to the sorrowful and immaculate heart of Mary

I……………………consecrate myself to your Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart, most be- loved daughter of the eternal Father; hail, Mary, most admirable mother of the Son; hail, Mary, most faithful spouse of the Holy Spirit; hail, Mary, Mother most dear, Lady most lovable, Queen most powerful! Hail, Mary, my joy, my glory, my heart and soul. You are all mine through God’s mercy, but I am all yours in justice. Yet I do not belong sufficiently to You, and so once again, as a slave who always belongs to his master, I give myself wholly to You, reserving nothing for myself or for others.If you still see anything in me that has not been given to you, please take it now. Make yourself completely owner of all my capabilities. Destroy in me everything that is displeasing to God. Uproot it and bring it to nothing. Im- plant in me all that you deem to be good; im- prove it and make it increase in me.May the light of your faith dispel the darkness of my mind! May your deep humility take the place of my pride. May your heavenly con- templation put an end to the distractions of my wandering imagination. May your continuous vision of God fill my memory with His presence. May the burning love of your Heart inflame the coldness of mine. May your vir- tues take the place of my sins. May your mer- its be my adornment and make up for my un- worthiness before God. Finally, most dearly beloved Mother, grant, if it be possible, that I may have no other spirit but yours to know Jesus and his Divine Will. May I have no soul but yours to praise and glorify the Lord. May I have no heart but yours to love God purely and ardently as You love Him. Amen, so be it, to all you did upon earth; Amen, so be it, to all you are doing now in heaven; Amen, so be it, to all you are doing in my soul. In that way, You and You alone will fully glorify Jesus in me during all my life and throughout eternity.Amen.By St. Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort
