Act of Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary for Purity



ACT OF CONSECRATION TO THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY FOR PURITY 
 Oh, Immaculate Heart of Mary, Virgin Most Pure, mindful of the terrible moral dangers threatening on all sides, and aware of my own human weakness, I voluntarily place myself, body and soul, this day and always, under thy loving maternal care and protection. I consecrate to thee my body, with all its members, asking that thou wilt help me never to use it as an occasion of sin to others. Help me to remember that my body is "The Temple of the Holy Ghost," and to use it according to God's Holy Will, for my own personal salvation, and the salvation of others. I consecrate to thee my soul, asking that thou wilt watch over it and to bring it home safe to thee and to Jesus in Heaven for all eternity. Oh Mary, my Mother, all that I am, all that I have is thine. Keep me and guard me under thy mantle of mercy as thy personal property and possession. "Jesus, Mary, I love Thee, save souls!"
 Imprimatur: Bishop Albert Zuroweste Belleville, Illinois









What this most prudent Virgin said to the servants at the marriage feast of Cana she addresses also to us: "Whatsoever he shall say to you, do ye" (John ii., 5). Now here is the word of Jesus Christ: "If you would enter into life, keep the commandments" (Matt. xix., 17). Let them each one fully convince himself of this, that if his piety towards the Blessed Virgin does not hinder him from sinning, or does not move his will to amend an evil life, it is a piety deceptive and Iying, wanting as it is in proper effect and its natural fruit.
 St. Pius X
AD DIEM ILLUM LAETISSIMUM
Encyclical Of Pope Pius X
 On The Immaculate Conception


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, triumph in every heart and home.
Amen.

-- Pope Pius XII
