“It is appropriate in our
times, to profoundly understand and have a greater
conscience of the intimate relationship that exists between
the Two Hearts, and of the immense value that an authentic
devotion and consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary
have in our lives.”
(Pope John Paul II, November 23, 1987)
"Oh, 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 Mother of Christ, we ask you to form and
mold us so that we can both be living images of Jesus in our
marriage, in our family, in the Church and in the world.
You who are Virgin and Mother, pour upon us and upon our
marriage, the spirit of purity of heart, of mind and of
body.
You who are our Spiritual Mother, help us to grow in the
life of grace and of holiness. Do not permit us to fall into
mortal sin nor to waste or misuse the graces won for us by
your Son on the Cross.
You who are the Teacher of Souls, teach us to be docile like
you. May we receive with obedience and gratefulness the
Truth revealed by Christ in His Word and in the Church.
You who are the Mediatrix of all graces, be the Pure channel
through which we receive in our lives and in our marriage,
the graces of conversion, of love, of peace, of
communication, of unity and of comprehension.
You who are the Intercessor before you Son, keep your
merciful gaze upon us and upon our marriage. Draw close to
your son imploring from Him, as You did in Cana, for the
miracle of wine which we may lack.
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.
