"Jesus wants to use you to make me known and loved. He wishes to establish devotion to my Immaculate Heart throughout the world. I promise salvation to whoever embraces it. These souls will be dear to God, like flowers put by me to adorn His throne." -Our Lady of Fátima to Sister Lúcia, on June 13, 1917
----------------------------------------- An Act of Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, by Venerable Pope Pius XII
Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, in this tragic hour of the world's history, we entrust and consecrate ourselves to thy Immaculate Heart, our only refuge, our hope, our salvation. Have pity on this world, torn by the most terrible conflicts, burning with the fires of hate, victim of its own sins. May thy Heart be moved at the sight of so much ruin, pain, and sorrow.
We consecrate to thy maternal Heart our persons, our families, our country—the whole of humanity. Protect and save us!
O Heart of Mary, source of true love, fill our selfish hearts with divine charity and with that true brotherly love without which there can never be peace. Grant that men and nations may understand and fulfill the precept of thy Divine Son, "Love one another" (John 15:12), in order that true peace may be firmly established in the Justice and Truth of Christ.
