I adore Thee O God, 
I count myself as nothing before Thy Divine Majesty. 
Thou alone art Being, Life, Truth, Beauty and Goodness. 

I glorify Thee, 
I praise Thee, 
I give Thee thanks and I love Thee, 
all helpless and unworthy as I am, 
in union with Thy dear Son, Jesus Christ, 
our Saviour and our Brother, 
in the merciful kindness of His Heart 
and through His infinite merits. 

I desire to serve Thee, 
to please Thee, 
to obey Thee and to love Thee always, 
in union with Mary Immaculate, 
Mother of God and our Mother, 
loving also and serving my neighbour for the love of Thee.

Wherefore give me Thy Holy Spirit, 
to enlighten me, 
to correct me 
and to guide me in the way of Thy commandments 
and in all perfection, 
the while I look for the happiness of heaven, 
where we shall glorify Thee for ever and ever. 

Amen.

O Lord Jesus, sweetest Guest, 
mayest Thou have come happily to me, 
Thy poor and humble servant. 
Mayest Thou have entered in blessing 
under this mean and lowly roof. 

Blessed art Thou, O Lord, in the highest, 
for that Thou hast come into my heart, 
Thou Day-spring from on high. 

O King of peace, 
drive from my heart all vain and idle thoughts, 
that my soul may imitate and love Thee only, 
the Author of peace. 

For what beside Thee, O Thou peace, 
Thou calm and sweetness of my heart, 
should my soul seek for or desire?

Amen.

O my God!
I love Thee,
with my whole heart and soul,
and above all things,
because Thou art infinitely good and perfect,
and most worthy of all my love;
and for Thy sake,
I love my neighbour as myself.

Mercifully grant,
O my God!
that having loved Thee on earth,
I may love and enjoy Thee 
for ever in heaven.

Amen.

My soul,
dilate thy heart;
thy Jesus can give thee every good gift;
He loves thee ardently.

Hope, then, 
for great favours from this Lord,
Who, through an impulse of love, 
comes to thee all love. 

Yes, my Jesus, my hope, 
I trust in Thy goodness, 
that in giving Thyself to me this morning, 
Thou wilt kindle in my poor soul 
the flames of Thy pure love, 
and of an ardent desire to please Thee, 
that, from this day forward, 
I may wish only what Thou wishest.

O Good and merciful Saint Anne,
in order to honour you with more zeal,
and pray to you with more confidence,
I come to consecrate myself to you,
for time and for eternity.

Hence I choose you,
after the most Blessed Virgin,
for my spiritual mother, 
and my protectress before God.
I place in your keep my body and my soul,
my temporal needs
and my eternal interests.

I consecrate my mind to you,
that you may enlighten me in all things,
with the light of faith;
my heart,
that you may keep it full of love for Jesus and Mary;
my will,
that you may forever 
keep it subsmissive to that of God;
and my body,
that you may make it forever
the temple of the Holy Ghost.

Obtain for me,
O Good Saint Anne,
the grace to fulfil faithfully,
after your example, 
all the duties of my state of life
and to practise, like you,
all the virtues necessary to my salvation.
Grant that after having honoured and loved you on earth,
O dear and Good Saint Anne,
I may one day go to glorify you,
with God, Mary, the saints and the angels,
during all eternity.

Amen.

With all my heart I praise Thee, Most Holy Virgin 
above all Angels and Saints in Paradise, Daughter of 
the Eternal Father, and I consecrate to Thee 
my soul with all its faculties.

Say the Hail Mary…

With all my heart I praise Thee, Most Holy Virgin 
above all Angels and Saints in Paradise, beloved Mother 
of the Son of God, and I consecrate to Thee my body 
with all its senses. 

Say the Hail Mary…

With all my heart I praise Thee, Most Holy Virgin 
above all Angels and Saints in Paradise, beloved Spouse 
of the Holy Ghost, and I consecrate to Thee my heart 
with all its affections, and beseech Thee to obtain for me from 
the Most Holy Trinity all the graces necessary for salvation. 

Say the Hail Mary…

O Jesus, our most loving Redeemer, 
Who didst come into the world 
to enlighten it by Thy teaching and by Thy example, 
and Who didst will to pass the greater part of Thy mortal life 
in the poor cottage at Nazareth, 
in humble subjection to Mary and Joseph, 
thus sanctifying that Family 
which was to be the model of all Christian families; 
graciously receive this family 
which dedicates and consecrates itself to Thee this day. 

Do Thou protect us, 
do Thou watch over us! 
Do Thou bestow upon us Thy holy fear, 
peace, concord, and Christian love; 
that so, by the imitation of Thy family 
as our pattern and model, 
we may each and all obtain everlasting happiness.

O Mary, loving Mother of Jesus and our Mother, 
by thy gracious intercession 
make this humble dedication acceptable to Jesus 
and obtain for us His graces and blessings.

Saint Joseph, 
holy guardian of Jesus and Mary, 
assist us by thy prayers in all our spiritual and temporal necessities; 
so that, with Mary and with thee, 
we may for all eternity bless 
and thank our Divine Redeemer, Jesus.

Amen.

To the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Oh most Sacred Heart of Jesus, 
we come to you as a family 
and consecrate ourselves to Your Sacred Heart. 
Protect us through Your Most Precious Blood 
and keep us pure and holy.

Oh Dear Jesus, 
we are so far away from Your most pure and Sacred Heart.
As a family we need Your help. 
Heal all the quarrels that exist 
in our family due to our unforgiveness 
and lack of love for You. 

Heal our unbelieving and unconverted hearts 
and lead us to Your Sacred Heart with love. 

Unite us as a family 
and remove all stain of sinfulness from our souls. 

Help us to be a prayerful and loving family, 
so that through our example 
we may lead other souls to Your Most Sacred Heart.

We give You our hearts Dearest Jesus, 
and consecrate our family through the fourth generation. 
Through the prayers of our Dearest Mother Mary,
may we live this consecration every day of our lives.

Amen.

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, 
have pity on us.

To the Immaculate Heart of Mary

Oh Mother Most Pure, 
we come to You as a family 
and consecrate ourselves to your most Immaculate Heart.
We come to You as a family 
and place our trust in Your powerful intercession.

Oh Dearest Mother Mary, 
teach us as a mother teaches her children, 
for our souls are soiled 
and our prayers are weak 
because of our sinful hearts. 
ready to respond to You 
and follow Your way, 
for Your way leads us 
to the heart of Your Son, Jesus. 
We are ready to be cleansed and purified. 

Come then Virgin Most Pure, 
and embrace us with Your motherly mantle.
Make our hearts whiter than snow 
and as pure as a spring of fresh water.
Teach us to pray, 
so that our prayers may become more beautiful 
than the singing of the birds at the break of dawn. 

Dear Mother Mary, 
we entrust to Your Immaculate Heart of hearts, 
our family and our entire future. 
Lead us all to our homeland which is Heaven. 

Amen. 

Immaculate Heart of Mary, 
pray for us.

O Jesus, 
our most loving Redeemer, 
who having come to enlighten the world 
with Thy teaching and example, 
didst will to pass the greater part of Thy life 
in humility and subjection to Mary and Joseph 
in the poor home of Nazareth, 
thus sanctifying the Family 
that was to be an example for all Christian families, 
graciously receive our family as it dedicates 
and consecrates itself to Thee this day. 

Do Thou protect us, 
guard us and establish amongst us Thy holy fear, 
true peace and concord in Christian love: 
in order that by living according to the divine pattern 
of Thy family we may be able, 
all of us without exception, 
to attain to eternal happiness.

Mary, 
dear Mother of Jesus and Mother of us, 
by the kindly intercession 
make this our humble offering acceptable in the sight of Jesus, 
and obtain for us His graces and blessings.

O Saint Joseph, 
most holy Guardian of Jesus and Mary, 
help us by thy prayers in all our spiritual and temporal needs; 
that so we may be enabled to praise our divine Savior Jesus, 
together with Mary and thee, 
for all eternity.

(Recite the Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory 3 times.)

Amen.
