family prayer | Marian Consecration
On September 15, the feast of Our Lady of Sorrows, we conclude our 33-day preparation of a Catholic Mom Marian Consecration to Jesus through Mary, which has been shared on our various social media platforms.
We invite you to join in praying this special Consecration prayer for mothers. If you have been taking this preparation journey as a family, an alternative consecration prayer is included as well. *Free downloads available below.
Marian Consecration Prayer for Mothers
I, _____[state your name]___________, a sorrowful and contrite sinner, renew and ratify today in your hands, dearest Blessed Mother, the vows of my Baptism.
I surrender all attachments, especially anything that keeps me from growing ever closer to your Son, Jesus, and all the blessings of heaven. Every day, I will strive to pray and offer simple sacrifices, seeking your motherly intercession and appealing for an outpouring of God's grace. I will encourage my loved ones to join me and do the same.
O Immaculate Mary, I give you my heart and ask you to ignite within it an unquenchable fire of love for your Son. Illuminate my way to His heart, where I know I will always find peace and rest. Mary, I entrust myself to you. I entrust my spouse, children, and loved ones to your pure, humble, caring hands. I embrace and believe in the powerful promise of the triumph of your Immaculate Heart, placing myself and all I love there.
Accept the offering of my life, my daily chores, and the service I offer to my family and community. Bless my family's work, prayer, and play; may you find it pleasing and fruitful; please present it to your Son so it may be perfected and bring even greater glory to God now and forever. Amen.
