 Dedication of A Family to Mary This prayer was composed by St. Alphonsus Ligouri Blessed and immaculate Virgin, our queen and mother, you are the refuge and consolation of all those who are in need. I bow in humility before you and with my family choose you for my lady, mother, and advocate with God. I dedicate myself, and all who belong to me, forever to your service and beg you, dear mother of God, to receive us into the number of your servants. Take us all under your protection. Graciously aid us now in life and still more at the hour of death. Mother of Mercy, I choose you lady and queen of my whole house, my relatives, my interests, and all my affairs. Take care of them; intercede for them all as it pleases you. Bless me and all my family, and do not permit any of us to offend your Son. Defend us in temptations; deliver us from doubts; console us in afflictions; be with us in sickness, and especially in the hour of death. Do not permit the devil to glory in having in his chains any of us who are now consecrated to you; but grant that we may come to you in heaven to thank you, and together with you praise and love our redeemer, Jesus, for all eternity. catholicprayerbook.net - catholicprayerbook.net Page Background by: Cottontail Graphics |
