All this, my Mother, I unite it forever and irrevocably to Your love, to Your tears, to Your sufferings! My sweetest mother, remember this Your son and the consecration he makes of himself to Your Immaculate Heart, and if I, overcome by despair and sadness, by disturbance or anguish, sometimes I would forget you, then, My mother, I ask you and I beg You, for the love you bring to Jesus, for His Wounds and for His Blood, to protect me as Your son and not to abandon me until I am with you in glory.

Deliver us!
