Cast myself at your feet, humbly imploring you to take me with all that I am and have, wholly to yourself

as your possession and property... By these words we beg, we beseech the Immaculata to accept us. We offer ourselve s to her entirely, in every respect, as her children, and as slaves of love, as servants, as instruments, and under every single aspect, under every title that anyone at any time might be able to express. We become hers as her possession an d property, to use us and use us up even to complete destruction, according to h er free disposition. Make of me, of all my powers of soul and body, of my whole life, death and etern ity, whatever most pleases you. To her we give our whole being, all the faculties of our soul, and therefore, in tellect, memory and will, and all the faculties of the body - therefore, all the senses and each in particular, our strength, health or sickness. We offer her o ur entire life with all its experiences, pleasant, unpleasant or indifferent. We give her our death, whenever and wherever and it whatever way it befalls us. We give her our whole eternity. We expect that we will be able to belong perfectly to her, only then beyond comparison. In this way we express a desire and entrea ty, so that she allows us to become hers under every aspect more and more perfec tly. In the third part of the act, we pray, Use all that I am and have without reserve wholly to accomplish what was said of you: "She will crush your head, "and, "You alone have destroyed all heresies in the whole world" On the statues and pictures of the Immaculata we always see the serpent at her f eet, surrounding the globe of the earth, as she crushes the head of the serpent. Satan, soiled by sin, endeavors to soil all souls on earth. He hates her who was always unspotted. He waits for her heel in the persons of her children; she cru shes his head in the fight in the person of everyone who has recourse to her. We ask her to use us if she wishes, as an instrument to crush the proud head of th e serpent in unfortunate souls. Holy Scripture adds, quoting the verse mentioned above, And you shall lie and wait for her heel. The evil spirit really lies in wait in a special way for those who dedicate themselves to the Immaculata; he de sires to insult her at least in them. His endeavor against sincerely dedicated s ouls always ends with more shameful defeat; hence his fury is more violent, impo tently furious. The words, You alone have destroyed all heresies in the whole world, are taken f rom the prayers which the Church orders her priests to say about her. The Church says "heresies" and not the heretics, whom she loves, and because of this love desires to free them from the error of heresy. The Church says "all", without an y exception; "alone", since "she" alone suffices. God is hers with all the treas ures of grace for the conversion and sanctification of souls. No corner of the e arth is excluded in the whole world. In this act of consecration we beg her to u se us to destroy the whole serpent coiled about the earth, the serpent represent ing the various heresies. Immaculata Prayer O Immaculata, Queen of Heaven and earth, refuge of sinners and our most loving M other, God has willed to entrust the entire order of mercy to you. I, (name), a

repentant sinner, cast myself at your feet, humbly imploring you to take me with all that I am and have, wholly to yourself as your possession and property. Please make of me, of all my powers of soul and body, of my whole life, death an d eternity, whatever most pleases you. If it pleases you, use all that I am and have without reserve, wholly to accompl ish what was said of you: "She will crush your head," and "You alone have destro yed all heresies in the whole world." Let me be a fit instrument in your immaculate and merciful hands for introducing and increasing your glory to the maximum in all the many strayed and indifferen t souls, and thus help extend as far as possible the blessed kingdom of the most Sacred Heart of Jesus. For wherever you enter you obtain the grace of conversion and growth in holiness , since it is through your hands that all graces come to us from the most Sacred Heart of Jesus. Allow me to praise you, O Sacred Virgin Give me strength against your enemies Our Father: The unspeakable generosity of God. Hail Mary: To honor the eternal predestination of Mary to be the masterpiece of God s hands. Hail Mary: Her Immaculate Conception and her fullness of grace and reason in the very womb of St. Anne. Hail Mary: Her birth which gladdened the whole world. Hail Mary: Her presentation and her abode in the temple. Hail Mary: Her wonderful life and her exemption from all sin. Hail Mary: Her fullness of pre-eminent virtue. Hail Mary: Her fruitful virginity and her painless childbearing.
