Immaculata Mater Dei.

Immaculate Mother of God, 

Queen of heaven,

Mother of mercy,

Advocate and Refuge of sinners,

behold, I, 

enlightened and inspired

by the graces obtained for me

abundantly from the divine treasury

through thy maternal affection, 

resolve this day and always

to place my heart into thy hands

to be consecrated to Jesus.

To thee, therefore, most Blessed Virgin,

in the presence of nine choirs of Angels

and all the Saints, I now give it. 

Do thou, in my name, consecrate it to Jesus;

and out of the filial confidence

which I hereby make profession of, 

I am certain that now and always 

thou wilt do all thou canst to bring it

to pass that my heart may ever wholly belong to Jesus,

and may imitate perfectly the example of the Saints, 

and in particular that of Saint Joseph, 

thy most pure Spouse. Amen.

St. Vincent Pallotti (1798-1850)
