ACT OF CONSECRATION
By Sf. Frauczs dc Sales
OST Holy Mary, virgin Mother of God, I (fd
name), most unworthy though I am to be thy
servant, yet touched by thy motherly care for me and
longing to serve thee, do, in the presence of my guardian
angel and all the court of heaven, choose thee this day
to be my queen, my advocate, and my mother, and I
h l y purpose to serve thee evermore myself and to do
what I can that all may render faithful service to thee.
Therefore, most devoted Mother, through the precious
blood thy Son poured out for me, I beg thee and
beseech thee, deign to take me among thy clients and
receive me as thy servant forever.
Aid me in my every action, and beg for me the
grace never, by word or deed or thought, to be displeasing
in thy sight and that of thy most holy Son.
Thipk of me, my dearest Mother, and desert me not
at the hour of death. Amen.
