Prayer of Dedication to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

Consecration of Saint Andrew Catholic Church to the Immaculate Heart of Mary
O, Immaculate Heart of Mary, Queen of Heaven, and our tender Mother, in accordance with your ardent wish made known at Fatima, and in union with Pope Francis’ consecration to you of himself, his Papacy, and the Church, I, Fr. Jim, consecrate to your Immaculate Heart: myself, and this Parish entrusted to my care. I consecrate and commit to you all the members of this parish, beginning with the weakest: the unborn, the sick, the disabled, and the elderly. I commit to you our families, our children, our young people, the single and the widowed. I pray especially for the dysfunctional, hurt and broken families, for those seeking the meaning of life but failing to find it; for the unemployed, the lonely and the desperate. I pray for those who are away from the Parish and are distant from the Church. Holy Mother, by your powerful intercession, obtain for us all the graces we need, and call down the Holy Spirit, your Spouse, to heal and sustain us, to lead and conform us to the image of Christ your son.
As your Priestly Servant, I speak for all here in my voice for the many…
We, the Parishioners of Saint Andrew Catholic Parish and School, renew and ratify today in your hands, O Immaculate Mother, the vows of our Baptism. We renounce forever Satan, the devil and all his works, and all his empty promises. We give ourselves entirely to Jesus Christ, to be more faithful to Him than we have ever been before. In the presence of all the heavenly hosts, we choose you, this day of the Epiphany of our Lord, Jesus Christ, for our Mother. We deliver and consecrate to you, our bodies and our souls, our goods, both interior and exterior, and even the value of our good actions, past, present and future; that you will dispose of them as you know best, for the greater Glory of God, in time and eternity.
Amen
