Children’s Consecration to Our Lady One Million Children

praying the Rosary

Mary, my Mother,
today I come to you with joy,
to give you my whole heart.
I give you everything I have
and everything I do,
my whole life.
To you I bring every single person,
that I hold in love in my heart:
my parents, my brothers and my sisters,
all my friends,
but also those who have hurt me.
Be a Mother to us all,
bless and protect us.
I wish to be your child,
to love you as my Mother
and pray faithfully to you.
Help me to remember, each day,
that I belong to you.
Mother, I am yours, now and for all eternity.
With you and through you
I want to belong completely to Jesus.
For unity and peace
On the 18th October
Amen.
