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
