Consecration Prayer Of The
Holy Octave To God The Father Recited As The Concluding Prayer Of The Formal Chaplet,
On the Crucifix or Medal
My Dearest Father,
Please accept this offering of myself, My body, mind, and soul: I praise You for Your Creation-- All Your works and wonders. I thank You for giving me life and for all that You have done for me. I offer up to You all that You have so generously given to me. I am sincerely sorry for not knowing, loving, serving, and honoring You as I should. I embrace my inheritance as Your child, both the joy and the responsibilities. I give you my "Yes" so that I may be an instrument of Your Will. I pledge my fidelity and I ask for the grace of steadfastness and perseverance in my faith.
Most loving, caring, and merciful of Fathers, in Your Divine Presence, I sincerely proclaim my love for you; I give myself (and my family) to You; and I solemnly consecrate myself (and my family) to You--now and forever. Dearest Father, as Your child I ask:
That You send Mary to guide me to Jesus, and that Jesus send me the Holy Spirit, so that they may all bring me to You. That You dwell with me and in me--a living temple prepared by Mary, dedicated by Jesus, and purified by Your Holy Spirit. That I will always be with You, and in You. That You permit me, as Your child, to be Your true and intimate friend--one who loves You above all things. And that You come for me when I die, to bring me home to You. I further ask You, Father, for the sake of all mankind:
To have mercy on all Your children--past, present, and future.
To bring peace to the world and to gather all Your children to Yourself.
And that Your Kingdom comes and Your Will is done on earth as it is in Heaven. Amen.
So fly away you evil spirits! The Lion of the Tribe of Juda, the Root of David has conquered. All the evil ones shall be silenced and cast into the Lion's mouth.
