Consecration to Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Wisdom, Through the Hands of Mary

O Eternal and Incarnate Wisdom, O most lovable and adorable Jesus, true God and true man, only-begotten Son of the Eternal Father and of Mary ever Virgin, I adore you profoundly in the bosom and the splendors of your Father, during eternity; and in the virginal womb of Mary, your most worthy Mother, in the time of your Incarnation.

I give you thanks for having emptied yourself, taking the form of a slave, to deliver me from the cruel slavery of the devil. I praise and glorify you for having been pleased to submit yourself to Mary, your holy Mother, in all things, so as to make me through her your faithful slave. But alas! Ungrateful and unfaithful as I am, I have not kept the promises I so solemnly made to you in my Baptism. I have not fulfilled my obligations. I do not deserve to be called your child or your slave; and since there is nothing in me that does not deserve your rejection and your wrath, I dare no longer approach by myself your most holy and august Majesty. It is for this reason that I have recourse to the intercession of your most holy Mother, whom you have given me as a mediatrix with you; and it is through her that I hope to obtain from you contrition and the pardon of my sins, and the acquisition and the preservation of Wisdom.

I greet you, therefore, O Immaculate Mary, living tabernacle of the Godhead, in whom the Eternal Wisdom, hidden, wills to be adored by angels and by men. I greet you, O Queen of heaven and earth, to whose dominion is subject all that is beneath God.

I greet you, O sure refuge of sinners, whose mercy fails no one. Hear the desires I have for the divine Wisdom, and receive for this purpose the vows and offerings that my lowliness presents to you.

I, N..., an unfaithful sinner, renew and ratify today in your hands the vows of my Baptism. I renounce forever Satan, his pomps, and his works, and I give myself entirely to Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Wisdom, to carry my cross after him all the days of my life, and to be more faithful to him than I have ever been until now.

I choose you today, in the presence of the whole heavenly court, as my Mother and Mistress. I deliver and consecrate to you, as your slave, my body and my soul, my interior and exterior goods, and the very value of my good actions, past, present, and future, leaving to you the full and entire right to dispose of me and of all that belongs to me, without exception, according to your good pleasure, to the greater glory of God, in time and in eternity.

Receive, O gracious Virgin, this little offering of my slavery, in honor of and in union with the submission that the Eternal Wisdom was pleased to have to your motherhood; in homage to the power that you both have over this little worm and this wretched sinner; and in thanksgiving for the privileges with which the Holy Trinity has favored you. I declare that I wish henceforth, as your true slave, to seek your honor and to obey you in all things.

O admirable Mother, present me to your dear Son as his eternal slave, so that, having redeemed me through you, he may receive me through you.

O Mother of mercy, grant me the grace of obtaining the true Wisdom of God, and of placing me for this purpose among the number of those whom you love, whom you teach, whom you lead, whom you nourish, and whom you protect as your children and your slaves.

O faithful Virgin, make me in all things so perfect a disciple, imitator, and slave of the Incarnate Wisdom, Jesus Christ your Son, that I may attain, through your intercession and after your example, to the fullness of his age on earth and of his glory in heaven. Amen.
