ONSECRATION TO THE MOTHER OF GOD," says Pope Pius XII, "is a total gift of self, for the whole of life and for all eternity; and a gift which is not a mere formality or sentimentality, but effectual, comprising the full intensity of the Christian life - Marian life." This consecration, the Pope explained, "tends essentially to union with Jesus, under the guidance of Mary." By our consecration we promise to become dependent on Mary in all things: to offer all our prayers and oblations to God

through Mary, and to seek every gift from God through Mary. And we do this with the greatest confidence. Since she is our mother, she knows our needs better than we; and since she is Queen of Heaven, she has immediate access to the infinite treasury of graces in the Kingdom of her Divine Son. Mary is not only the Mother of Jesus, Son of the Eternal Father; she is also Mother of all the Father's adopted children. As their Mother, she has been given the role of molding them into the likeness of Jesus. Every work of grace, every increase of grace, is a work of the Holy Ghost; but as in the Incarnation of the Divine Word God used human instruments, so does He in the sanctification of each individual soul. As He chose Mary as the instrument through whom He would come to us, so He chose Mary as the instrument through whom we should go to Him.

AJESTIC QUEEN OF HEAVEN AND MISTRESS OF THE ANGELS, thou didst receive from God the power and commission to crush the head of

Satan; wherefore we humbly beseech thee, send forth the legions of Heaven, that, under thy command, they may seek out all evil spirits, engage them everywhere in battle, curb their insolence, and hurl them back into the pit of Hell. “Who is like unto God?” O good and tender Mother, thou shalt ever be our hope and the object of our love. O Mother of God, send forth the holy Angels to defend us and drive far from us the cruel foe. Holy Angels and Archangels, defend us and keep us. Amen.

To dress becomingly for God and neighbor, and in keeping with the reverence due to the Blessed Sacrament, kindly refrain from wearing shorts, tee-shirts, tank-tops, revealing blouses, sleeveless or backless dresses, or form-fitting clothing of any sort. Please do wear dresses and skirts that fall below the knee when seated. With due regard to time and circumstance, all are encouraged to wear decorous attire befitting sacred and divine worship.

work of the Holy Ghost. So when we speak of Mary's unique role in our sanctification, she is but the instrument the Holy Ghost uses in sharing with us the divine life of grace. It is in this sense that Mary fashions us into the likeness of Christ. However, that this transformation - through Mary's help - be accomplished in a notable degree, there must be an awareness of her role in our sanctification, a confidence in her maternal concern and in her power under God, a surrender of oneself into her hands, and a fervent, frequent and confident seeking of her aid. This usually comes through some form of consecration to the Mother of God. At Fatima Our Lady asked for consecration to her Immaculate Heart, a consecration which, among other things, calls for the devotion of the Five First Saturdays, which includes the Rosary, meditation and Communions of reparation - all done in reparation to her Immaculate Heart. It involves a striving to fulfill her requests for prayer and sacrifices for the conversion of sinners and in reparation for offenses against the Divine Majesty. In a word, it involves a striving to fulfill all that she asked for at Fatima, and trying to bring others to heed her requests. To everyone who makes that consecration and sincerely tries to live it, the words of Our Lady to the child Lucia at Fatima would also apply: "I will never leave you; my Immaculate Heart will be your refuge, and the way that will lead you to God."-- Fr. Shannon Collins, MSJB

ACT OF CONSECRATION OF THE HUMAN RACE TO THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY

By POPE PIUS XII (slightly adapted)

UEEN OF THE MOST HOLY ROSARY, Help of Christians, Refuge of the human race, Conqueror in all the great battles of God, we humbly kneel at thy throne. In this

tragic hour of human history, we give, we entrust, we consecrate to Thee and to Thy Immaculate Heart, the Holy Church, Mystical Body of Thy Jesus, suffering and bleeding in so many places, and not only the Church, but also the whole world, torn asunder by internal discords, aflame with the fires of hatred and victim of its own wickedness… FOR GOD’S HOLY CHURCH AND OUR LOWLY PARISH, obtain peace and freedom. Stay the swelling flood of the day’s paganism. In the Catholic, enkindle a love of purity, Catholic ways of living, Catholic zeal. The servants of God will then be better and more numerous. LASTLY, THE CHURCH AND ALL MEN were consecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, in the hope that He would be for them a sign and promise of saving victory. We now likewise consecrate ourselves and our parish family to thee, to the Immaculate Heart of our Queen and Mother. Thy love and favor will quicken the triumph of God’s kingdom. All nations then will be at peace with God, and with one another. They will bless thee. They will join their voices from the ends of the earth, with thy voice, in the Magnificat, the ageless song of glory, love and thanks to the Heart of Jesus. Truth, life and peace men will find there and nowhere else. Amen.

Our parish will be consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary at the 10 AM Mass today. The School of Virtue will be opening on the 14th Sunday after Pentecost (Sept 10) in the Undercroft. Exact times to be announced. Our textbook, by Bd. Francis Palau, is found on our website under the tab--School of Virtue. There will be a special St. Benedict Home school co-op orientation at 1 PM on August 27 in the undercroft.
