my queen, and my advocate at the throne of thy divine Son. I acknowledge thee, after God, as my refuge, my asylum, and my hope; I consecrate myself to thee from this moment and for ever; I place my destiny in thy hands. Accept the offering I make of my heart, mind, will, actions, health, liberty, and life; of all that I am and have in the world. Penetrated with the sentiments which faith and piety inspire towards thee, I desire henceforward to receive every favour through thee; I will ask all graces through thy intercession, offer prayers through thy hands, practise virtue in imitation of thee, and according to the grand model thou hast left us. Obtain for me the abundant graces of which I stand in need; take compassion on my miseries, and be to me a tender mother. It is thy child who claims thy succour; can I seek it in vain? Protect me, holy Virgin, during life; but especially at the hour of death, support me in the anguish of my last combat; and when I shall have yielded my last breath, place my soul in the hands of my Creator, that I may adore, bless, and praise him with thee, for ever in glory.
Ye choirs of Angels ! witnesses of this my oblation ! bear me up in the day of judgment, and next to Jesus and Mary, be ye propitious to me, should the enemy of my salvation have any claim upon me. Obtain for me at present a true repentance, and those graces I stand in need of for the gaining of life everlasting. Amen.
Reparation of Honour
TO THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY.
MOTHER of God, most worthy! whose sanctity and sublime merit surpass the comprehension
