Act of Consecration – To the Immaculate Heart of

Mary – For Priests


Virgin of Fatima, Mother of Mercy, Queen of Heaven
and Earth, Refuge of Sinners, we who belong to the
Marian Movement of Priests, called to form the cohort of
your priests, today consecrate ourselves in a very
special way to your Immaculate Heart.
By this act of consecration we intend to live, with
you and through you, all the obligations assumed by
our baptismal and priestly consecration.
We further pledge to bring about in ourselves that
interior conversion that will free us of all human
attachment to ourselves, our career, our comforts, or to
easy compromises with the world so that, like you, we
may be available only to do always the Will of the Lord.
And as we resolve to entrust to you, O Mother most
sweet and merciful, our priesthood, so that you may
dispose of it for all your designs of salvation in this
hour of decision that weighs upon the world, we pledge
to live it according to your desires, especially as it
pertains to a renewed spirit of prayer and penance, the
fervent celebration of the Holy Eucharist and of the
Liturgy of the Hours, the daily recitation of the holy
rosary, the offering of Holy Mass in your honor on the
first Saturday of every month, and a religious and
austere manner of life, that shall be a good example to
all.
We further promise you the greatest loyalty to the
Gospel, of which we shall always be genuine and
courageous heralds, even, if necessary, to the shedding
of our blood. We promise loyalty to the Church, for
whose service we have been consecrated.
Above all, we wish to be united with the Holy
Father and the hierarchy, firmly adhering to all their
directives, so as thus to set up a barrier to the growing
confrontation directed against the Magisterium, that
threatens the very foundation of the Church.
Under your maternal protection, we want moreover to
be apostles of this sorely needed unity of prayer and
love for the Pope, on whom we invoke your special
protection.
And lastly, we promise to lead the faithful
entrusted to our care to a renewed devotion to you.
Mindful that atheism has caused shipwreck in the faith
to a great number of the faithful, that desecration has
entered into the holy temple of God, not sparing even
many of our brother-priests, and that evil and sin are
spreading more and more throughout the world, we
make so bold as to lift our eyes trustingly to you, O
Mother of Jesus and our merciful and powerful Mother,
and we invoke again today and await from you the
salvation of all your children, O clement, O loving, O
sweet Virgin Mary.
