Sempermom

The friendship of mothers is best realize as we pray for each other in the vocation we share. We are daughters of the New Eve. It is Mary who waits for us, journeys with us, cries with us, laughs with us, teaches us, and prays with us. As we retire in the evenings, may we find joy in knowing that, we may be someone's mother by day, but by night, we sleep in peace as her daughters, first.

ACT OF CONSECRATION TO THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY

O Mary, Virgin most powerful and Mother of mercy,
Queen of heaven and refuge of sinners,
We consecrate ourselves to your Immaculate Heart
We consecrate to you our very being and our whole life,

All that we have,
All that we love,
All that we are.
We give you our bodies, hearts and souls,
Our homes, families, parish and country.
We desire that everything in and around us may belong to you and share in the benefits of your motherly protection.

In order that this act of consecration may be truly efficacious and lasting, we today renew the promises we made at Baptism and Confirmation. We pledge that we will courageously and unceasingly profess the truths of our holy Faith, and live as befits Catholics who are duly submissive to the direction of the Pope and the Bishops who are in communion with him.

We pledge ourselves to keep the commandments of God and the Church, in particular to keep holy the Lord’s day. We also pledge ourselves to make the practices of the Christian religion, especially the frequent and regular reception of the consoling Sacrament of Reconciliation and Holy Communion an integral part of our lives.

Finally we promise you, O glorious Mother of God and loving Mother of all people to dedicate ourselves with all our hearts to the service of devotion to you.

Through the sovereignty of your Immaculate Heart, may we thus hasten and assure the coming of the kingdom of the Sacred Heart of your adorable Son in our own hearts as well as those of all people, in our own parish and country as well as in the whole world, on earth as in heaven. Amen.
