Our Consecration to the Blessed Virgin Mary(Pope St Paul VI)
O Immaculate Heart of Mary, our Mother, we consecrate ourselves to you today, so that you may live in us, and speak in and through us.
Think your thoughts in our minds; and your love through our hearts. Give us your own dispositions and feelings.
Lead us and guide us to Jesus your son. Correct and enlighten our thoughts and behaviour.
Make our hearts and homes your shrine.
Through us, may the Heart of Jesus rule and triumph in our families, in our country and in the world.
Praying at our Shrine of the Baby Jesus
Lord Jesus,
you lived for nine months in the security
of the womb of your mother Mary.
From her you received the flesh
that was broken and the blood that was poured out for us.
Give to all men and women of Ireland
a deep reverence for human life,
especially for life that is as yet unborn and utterly defenceless.
May its mother’s womb continue
to be the safest place on God’s earth-the sanctuary that no man or woman may dare to violate.
May our faith in the Word-made-Flesh, not philosophy,
worldly wisdom or human manipulation, be our sole guide.
Give us the courage to proclaim
to the whole world that life is sacred – a precious gift from God.

May his life of prayer and penance give us courage to take up our crosses and follow in the footsteps of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Father, if it be your will that your beloved servant should be glorified by your church make known by your heavenly favours the power he enjoys in your sight.
