Act of Consecration

to Our Lady

of the Immaculate Conception

This is recited daily by the clergy and laity

of the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest

In the presence of God Almighty,

Father, Son and Holy Ghost,

and with heaven and earth as our witness,

we prostrate ourselves that thy feet,

O Mary, Our Lady.

We acknowledge Thee as our Mother,

as the Immaculate Conception,

living tabernacle of the Divinity,

as Queen of angels and of men,

as Mother of the Church

and of the Catholic priesthood,

and as a refuge of the afflicted.

That is why, small and weak that we are

we wish to consecrate to Thee

our institute*,

our families,

our persons,

our works,

our future,

all that pertains to us,

and is in us,

and which God,

in His immeasura goodness,

has entrusted to us

for our good use.

We also consecrate to Thee

the value of our good actions

past, present and future,

leaving to Thee

the entire and full right

of disposing of us

and all that belongs to us.

Mary,

be our Mother ;

sanctify us,

purify us,

correct us,

guide us,

pray for us,

and protect us.

Help us to fulfill perfectly the duties of our state of life.

Extinguish in us all self-love

which prevents Thy Divine Son,

King and Sovereign Priest,

from reigning in and around us.

Cover abundantly

with Thy Maternal protection

all the parishes, chapels, schools, and missions

entrusted to the Institute,

and mayest Thou forever

impede the devil from reigning, in any manner,

in this Institut, which desires to be entirely Thine,

for the greater Glory of God,

the exaltation of our Mother the Holy Catholic Church,

and for the conversion of sinners.

AMEN.
