Act of consecration
Oh, most Noble Prince
of the Angelic Hierarchies,
valorous warrior of Almighty God,
and zealous lover of his glory,
terror of the rebellious angels,
and love and delight of all the just,
my beloved Archangel Saint Michael,
desiring to be numbered
among your devoted servants,
today I offer and consecrate myself to you,
and place myself,
my family and all I possess
under your most powerful protection.
I entreat you not to look at how little I,
as your servant have to offer, being only a wretched
sinner, but to gaze rather with favorable eye at the
heartfelt affection with which this offering is made,
and remember that if from this day
onward I am under your patronage,
you must during all my life assist me
and procure for me
the pardon of my many grievous offences and sins,
the grace to love with all my heart my God,
my dear Saviour Jesus,
and my Sweet Mother Mary,
and obtain for me all the help necessary
to arrive to my crown of glory.
Defend me always from my spiritual enemies,
particularly in the last moments of my life.
Come then oh glorious Prince
and succour me in my last struggle,
and with your powerful weapon cast far from me
into the infernal abysses that prevaricator
and proud angel that one day you prostrated
in the celestial battle.
Accompany me then to the throne of God
to sing with you, Archangel Saint Michael
and all the Angels,
praise, honour and glory
to the One who reigns for all eternity.
Amen. |
