Daily Prayers

OUR LADY of Guadalupe, Ever Virgin, Mother of the True God, Woman clothed with the Sun, I totally consecrate myself to thee and to thine Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart.

In humility, through this consecration, I receive thee, Virgin of Guadalupe, into every moment of my life and every fibre of my being. I am assured that God has chosen thou for me and I recall what the Angel of the Lord told St. Joseph:

“Joseph, son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for that which is conceived in her, is of the Holy Ghost.” [Mt. 1:20]

Holy Archangel St. Gabriel who presented the beauty and virtues of Mary’s soul, [Lk. 1:26-35] obtain for me the grace to imitate these virtues and, by my example, to show others how to live, how to love, how to sacrifice and how to die.

As I receive thee, Queen and Mother of the Americas, I desire, with thy help, to grow in my relationship with thee, a relationship which was confirmed by thine Divine Son as He hung dying on the Cross when He said to thee His Holy and Sorrowful Mother,

“Woman, behold thy son!”

And to St. John, His beloved disciple,

“Behold thy Mother!” [Jn. 19:26-27]

I implore thee, Queen of the Angels, and to St. Michael and the other angels to defend us in our battle against Satan and all of the evil spirits in this present darkness. [Eph. 6:12]

In reparation I will pray and sacrifice. Please pray for us who seek refuge in thee, for the conversion of poor sinners who offend thee and for the salvation of all souls! I promise to keep ever before me thine instructions at the Wedding Feast at Cana:

“Whatsoever He shall say to you, do ye.” [Jn. 2:5]

In doing so I will be loyal and obedient to the Pope, thy first son on earth. I am sure in my consecration to thee that thou wilt lead me on a safe and sure path to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Holy Mother of God, save us through the Flame of Love of thine Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart! Send forth the grace from thy Flame of Love to the whole human race now and at the hour of our death. Send forth thy Spouse, the Holy Ghost, to bring us the New Pentecost and the fire of His Divine Love to renew the face of the earth.

O Mother of Mercy, let there be revealed, once more, in the history of the world the infinite power of merciful love! May it put an end to evil. May it transform consciences. May thy Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart reveal for all the light of faith, hope and love. May Christ the King reign over us, our families, cities, states, nations and the whole of humanity.

O clement, O loving, O Sweet Virgin Mary, hear our pleas and accept this cry from our hearts!

Dear Lady of Guadalupe, I conclude my consecration to thee with the message you gave to Blessed Juan Diego in Mexico on Tepeyc Hill in 1531 hereby accepting it also as a message from you to thee:

Know for certain that I am the perfect and perpetual Virgin Mary,
Mother of the True God.
Here I will show and offer all my love,
my compassion, my help and protection to the people.
I am your merciful Mother,
the Mother of all who love me,
of those who cry to me,
of those who have confidence in me.
Here I will hear their weeping and their sorrows
and will remedy and alleviate their suffering,
necessities and misfortunes…
Listen and let it penetrate your heart…
Do not be troubled or weighed down with grief.
Do not fear any illness or vexations, anxiety or pain.
Am I not here who am your Mother?
Are you not under my shadow and protection?
Am I not your fountain of life?
Are you not in the folds of my mantle?
In the crossing of my arms?
Is there anything else you need?

Mary, Our Blessed Mother! Pray for us! Amen.
