HOLIEST VIRGIN, with all my heart I honor thee above all the angels and saints in Paradise as the spouse of the Holy Ghost, and to thee I consecrate my heart and all its affections, praying thee to obtain for me from the ever Blessed Trinity, all the graces which I need for my salvation. Hail Mary, etc.

ACTS OF CONSECRATION TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN
For Members of the Sodality of the Blessed Virgin Mary
By St. John Berchmans
HOLY Mary, Mother of God and Virgin, I choose thee this day for my queen, patron, and advocate, and firmly resolve and purpose never to abandon thee, never to say or do anything against thee, nor to permit that aught be done by others to dishonor thee. Receive me, then, I conjure thee, as thy perpetual servant; assist me in all my actions, and do not abandon me at the hour of my death. Amen.
(Ind. of 300 days, for each recitation. — Pius X. Nov. 17, 1906.)
