Act of Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary
by St. Louis de Montfort
I, a faithless sinner, renew and ratify today in thy hands, O Immaculate
Mother, the vows of my Baptism. I renounce forever Satan, his pomps and works,
and I give myself entirely to Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Wisdom, to carry my
cross after Him all the days of my life, and to be more faithful to Him than I
have ever been before. In the presence of all the heavenly court, I choose thee
this day for my Mother and Mistress. I deliver and consecrate to thee, as they
slave, my body and soul, my goods, both interior and exterior, and even the
value of all my good actions, past, present and future, leaving to thee the
entire and full right of disposing of me, and all that belongs to me, without
exception, according to thy good pleasure, for the greater glory of God, in
time and in eternity. Amen.
