Consecration Of Marriage To Immaculate Of Mary
Immaculate Heart of Mary, sure refuge of sinners and firm anchor of
salvation, to you do we wish to consecrate today our marriage. In
these times of great spiritual battle, of struggle between authentic
family values and a worldly mentality of permissiveness, we ask you,
our Mother and Teacher, to show us the way of true love, of
commitment, of fidelity, of sacrifice and of service. By consecrating
ourselves to you today, we beseech you to receive us into your Heart,
to cover us with your Pure Mantel, to keep us in your maternal arms
and to lead us on the sure path to the Sacred Heart of your Son, Jesus
Christ. You who are the Coredemtrix, teach us to be faithful to each
other in moments of suffering and of cross. In times of trail, may we
not seek our own well-being but rather the good of the other,
remaining ever faithful to the commitment which we have received from
God. May we always live these moments of sacrifice and struggle united
to your Crucified Son. In virtue of the union of the Immaculate Heart
of Mary with the Sacred Heart of Christ, we pray that our marriage may
be strengthen in unity, in love, in responsibility to our duties and
in the generous self-offering of one to the other and to the children
we will receive from Our Lord. May our home be a domestic sanctuary
where we pray together and where we communicate with each other with
joy and enthusiasm. May our marriage be for others, a visible sign of
love and fidelity. We beseech you O Mother, in virtue of this
consecration, that our marriage may be protected from all spiritual,
physical or material evil. May your Immaculate Heart reign in our home
so that Jesus Christ may be loved, heard and obeyed in our family.
Sustained by His love and His grace, may we dispose ourselves to
construct daily, the civilization of love: the Reign of the Two
Hearts. Amen
