.let of I 'onsvvralion to ilu' lmmaa-ulatv Heart of Jlary Virgin most holy, powlrful Mother of God and tender Mother of mankind, Sovereign, Queen and Mother of our na- tion, when by an excess of motherly love Thou didst vouch- safe to appear in Fatima to three humble and innocent shepherds, Thou didst manifest Thine ardent desire that the world might return to Thy Sac- red Heart and to It be con- secrated, in order to appease the offended Divine Justice and ob- tain peace. Desiring as sub- missive children to correspond, within the limits of our power, to Thy renewed petitions and in order better to reach the Heart of Jesus whereof Thou art the easy and safe way, we come to- day, U most loving Mother, to consecrate ourselves tully and irrevocably to Thy Immaculate Heart. Vouchsaie to reign, O Lady, over IfllS family that it may be Thine, in prosperity and in adversity, in joy and in sor- row, in health and in sickness. in life and in death. Reign, lm- maculate Heart, over our minds, that they may ever be docile to the teachings ot' Thy Son and 01 His Chl.lI'CllQ reign over our wills, leading them in the path of virtue traced by Thee for us with Thine example, in a per- fect submission to the will of God, reign in our hearts which desire nothing but to be con- sumed with love tor Thee and for Jesus. O Heart of Mary. Heart of the most compassion- ate Mother, Queen of Virgins, watch over our hearts and pre- serve them from the deluge of impurity which Thou didst so sorrowfully deplore at Fatima, a deluge that submerges the world and calls upon it the punishment of Heaven. We want to be pure like Thee: we want to atone for so many rrim.-s committed against Thee and against Jesus, we want to call upon our country and the whole world, the kingdom of Peace in justice and charity. Therefore, we now promise to imitate Thy virtues in the prac- tice of a Christian life without any human respect, to receive Holy Communion on the firs' Saturday of every month and to offer Thee daily, together with the wreath of our Rosary, or our five decades, the flowers of our sacrifice in a spirit of re- paration and penance.
