Morning Offering — Renewal of the Consecration

Upon waking, renew the gift of yourself to Jesus through Mary.

I am all Thine, and all that I have is Thine, O most loving Jesus, through Mary, Thy most holy Mother.

I renounce myself; I give myself to thee, my dear Mother.

And to seal the offering, pray:

Hail Mary

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women,

and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,

pray for us sinners,

now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Ave María, grátia plena, Dóminus tecum.

Benedícta tu in muliéribus,

et benedíctus fructus ventris tui, Iesus.

Sancta María, Mater Dei,

ora pro nobis peccatóribus,

nunc et in hora mortis nostræ.

Amen.

About this prayer

The morning act of those consecrated to Jesus through Mary — the renewal recommended by St. Louis de Montfort, by which the soul gives itself again each day to the Lord through the hands of His Mother.

History

St. Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort (1673–1716) presented this short act in his *True Devotion to Mary* (§233 and §266) as the daily renewal of the Total Consecration. He counsels that the consecration be renewed yearly, monthly, and even daily, and gives this brief formula so the act can live in the rhythm of ordinary days.

How to pray it

Upon waking, make the Sign of the Cross. Pray the renewal slowly — it is a real act of self-gift, not a phrase. Some add a short Hail Mary to seal it; the consecrated soul places the whole day in Mary's hands.
