Prayer of Pope Pius Xii Consecration to the Blessed Virgin

Most Holy Virgin Mary,

tender Mother of all,

to fulfill the desires of the Sacred Heart

and the request of the Vicar of your Son on earth,

we consecrate ourselves

and our families

to your Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart,

O Queen of the Most Holy Rosary,

and we recommend to you,

all the people of our country

and all the world.

Please accept our consecration,

dearest Mother,

and use us as you wish

to accomplish your designs upon the world.

O Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary,

Queen of the Most Holy Rosary,

and Queen of the World, 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 a virtuous life,

an ardent zeal for souls,

and a desire to pray the rosary more faithfully.

We come with confidence to you,

O Throne of Grace and Mother of Fair Love.

Inflame us with the same Divine Fire

which has inflamed your own Sorrowful

and Immaculate Heart.

Make our hearts and homes your shrine,

and through us,

make the Heart of Jesus,

together with your rule,

triumphant in every heart and home.
