Act of Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary
A Prayer From Fatima

By Scott P. Richert, About.com

This Act of Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary was delivered to the three shepherd children who experienced the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima between May 13, 1917, and October 13, 1917. In this Act of Consecration, we promise to imitate Mary, the shining example of the Christian life.

Act of Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

O Mary, Virgin and most powerful Mother of Mercy, Queen of heaven and Refuge of sinners, we consecrate ourselves today to thine Immaculate Heart. We consecrate to thee our very being and our whole life, all that we have, all that we love, all that we are. To thee we give our bodies, our hearts and souls, to thee we give our homes, our families and our country.

Mindful of this consecration we now promise to imitate thee by the practice of Christian virtues without regard for human respect. We resolve to receive Holy Communion on the first Saturday of every month when possible and to offer daily five decades of the Rosary with all our sacrifices in the spirit of penance and reparation. Amen.
