Day 34
Consecration Day
Come, Holy Spirit
Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Thy faithful and enkindle in them the fire of Thy love.
V. Send forth Thy Spirit, and they shall be created;
R. And Thou shalt renew the face of the earth. LET US PRAY.
O God, who didst teach the hearts of Thy faithful people by sending them the light of Thy Holy Spirit, grant us
by the same Spirit to have right judgement in all things, and evermore to rejoice in His holy comfort. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen
O Holy Spirit, sweet Guest of my soul, abide in me and grant that I may ever abide in Thee.
“I belong entirely to you, dear Mother, and all that I have is yours. O Mary, I take you
for my all; give me your heart.”14
– St. Louis de Montfort
The above quotation was the inspiration for the Papal Motto of St. Pope John Paul II: “Totus tuus.” For our Consecration, we will include this passage within the Consecration prayer:
Recite the following:
I, (Name), renounce satan and give myself entirely to Jesus Christ through the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Dear Mary, I belong entirely to you, and all that I have is yours. I take you for my all. Mary, I give you my heart. O Mary, please give me your heart. I Consecrate to you, Mother Mary, my body and soul as well as my good deeds, both interior and exterior; and the value of my good actions past, present, and future. May my hands be the extended hands of Jesus and of you, Mary. May all be for the Glory of God. Amen.
Then say this abbreviated version of the Consecration. It is an entrustment to Mary who leads us to Jesus. The entrustment is repeated slowly three times and should ideally be read aloud:
I belong entirely to you, dear Mother, and all that I have is yours. O Mary, I take you for my all; give me your heart. Amen.
