Today is the Feast Day of the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Turn your hearts towards the Mother of God and place yourselves under Her motherly protective mantle. She never abandons Her dear children.
Consecration Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary (by Fr. Maximilian Kolbe)
“The Immaculate alone has from God the promise of victory over Satan. She seeks souls that will consecrate themselves entirely to Her, that will become in Her hands forceful instruments for the defeat of Satan and the spread of God’s kingdom.” (Fr. Maximilian Kolbe)
O IMMACULATA, Queen of Heaven and earth, refuge of sinners and our most loving Mother, God has willed to entrust the entire order of mercy to Thee. I, N___, a repentant sinner, cast myself at Thy feet humbly imploring Thee to take me with all that I am and have, wholly to Thyself as Thy possession and property. Please make of me, of all my powers of soul and body, of my whole life, death and eternity, whatever most pleases Thee. If it pleases Thee, use all that I am and have without reserve, wholly to accomplish what was said of Thee: “She shall crush your head,” and, “Thou alone hast destroyed all heresies in the whole world.” Let me be a fit instrument in Thine Immaculate and merciful hands for introducing and increasing Thy glory to the maximum in all the many strayed and indifferent souls, and thus help extend as far as possible the blessed Kingdom of the most Sacred Heart of Jesus. For wherever Thou enterest, one obtains the grace of conversion and growth in holiness, since it is through Thy hands that all graces come to us from the most Sacred Heart of Jesus.
V/. Allow me to praise Thee, O Sacred Virgin. R/. Give me strength against Thy enemies.
