An Act of Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

-------

(St. Louis de Montfort's Consecration)

I, Rachel Anne Teo, a faithless sinner - renew and ratify today in thy hands, O Immaculate Mother, the vows of my Baptism; I renounce forever Satan, his pomps and works; and I give myself entirely to Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Wisdom, to carry my cross after Him all the days of my life, and to be more faithful to Him than I have ever been before.

In the presence of all the heavenly court I choose thee this day, for my Mother and Mistress. I deliver and consecrate to thee, as thy slave, my body and soul, my goods, both interior and exterior, and even the value of all my good actions, past, present and future; leaving to thee the entire and full right of disposing of me, and all that belongs to me, without exception, according to thy good pleasure, for the greater glory of God, in time and in eternity.

Amen.

Prayer to St. Michael

(Promulgated by Pope Leo XIII)

St. Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle; be our safeguard against the malice and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray, and do thou, O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust down into hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl throughout the world seeking the ruination of souls.

Amen.

Prayer for the Pope

May the Lord preserve our Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI, give him life, and make him blessed upon earth, and deliver him not to the will of his enemies.

LET US PRAY:

O God, the Shepherd and Ruler of all the faithful, in Thy mercy look down upon Thy servant, Benedict, whom Thou hast appointed to preside over Thy Church, and grant we beseech Thee that both by word and example he may edify those who are under his charge; so that, with the flock entrusted to him, he may attain life everlasting. Through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
