Prayer of Consecration

O Most Holy Trinity: Our Father in Heaven, You chose Mary as the fairest of Your daughters; God the Son, You chose Mary as Your Mother; Holy Spirit, You chose Mary as Your spouse; in union with Mary, we adore Your majesty and acknowledge Your supreme, eternal dominion and authority. Most Holy Trinity, we place the Diocese of Sacramento into the hands of Mary Immaculate in order that she may present this diocese to You.

Immaculate Queen of Heaven and Earth, refuge of sinners and our most loving Mother Mary, we humbly cast ourselves at your feet, consecrating to your Immaculate Heart all peoples and parishes of the Diocese of Sacramento. Protect the Bishop of this diocese and all his priests and deacons. Protect the consecrated religious of this diocese. Protect those who have been called to the vocation of marriage. Protect the families of this diocese. Draw forth the precious gift of many vocations to the priesthood and religious life. Look after sinners, the sick, the poor, the imprisoned, the tempted and upon all who are in need of your intercession.

O Mary, Immaculate Virgin, we ask that you draw all of us closer to your Son’s Eucharistic Heart. Let all of us be fit instruments in your immaculate and merciful hands for introducing and increasing God’s glory to the maximum in all the many strayed and indifferent souls. Help us as far as possible to serve the advancement of the blessed kingdom of the most Sacred Heart of Jesus. For wherever you enter you obtain grace of conversion and growth in holiness, since it is through your hands that all graces come to us from the most Sacred Heart of Jesus.

O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to you!
