SECTION II.[1]
ACT OF CONSECRATION TO THE SACRED HEART OF MARY.
O Holy Mother of God, glorious Queen of heaven and earth! I choose thee this day for my mother, my queen, and my advocate at the throne of thy divine Son. Accept the offering, may it he irrevocable! I here make of my heart. It never can be out of danger whilst at my own disposal: never secure but in thy hands.
Ye choirs of angels, witnesses of this my oblation, bear me up in the day of judgment, and next to Jesus and Mary be ye propitious to me, should the enemy of my salvation have any claim upon me. Obtain for me at present the gift of a true repentance, and those graces I may afterwards stand in need of for the gaining of life everlasting.
- ↑ This feast has no fixed day. It is solemnised in some churches, with the approbation of the Ordinary, on the 8th of February; in others on the first of June, and in some churches on Sunday within the octave of the Assumption.
