Prayer to the Immaculate Heart of Mary today on the first Saturday of the month
O Mother of men and peoples, you who feel maternally all the struggles between good and evil, between light and darkness, which shake the contemporary world, welcome our cry which, as moved by the Holy Spirit, we address directly to the your heart and embraces, with the love of the mother and the servant, this human world of ours, which we entrust and consecrate to you, full of restlessness for the earthly and eternal fate of men and peoples. Before you, Mother of Christ, before your immaculate heart, I wish today, together with the whole Church, to join our Redeemer in his consecration for the world and for men, who only in his heart has the power of obtain forgiveness and procure reparation. Help us overcome the threat of evil ...
From hunger and war, set us free! From sins against man's life from its dawn, deliver us! From the hatred and degradation of the dignity of the children of God, deliver us! From all kinds of injustices in social, national and international life, free us! From the ease of trampling on the commandments of God, deliver us! From sins against the Holy Spirit, deliver us! Deliver us!
Accept, oh Mother of Christ, this cry full of the suffering of entire societies! The infinite power of merciful love is revealed once again in the history of the world. May it stop evil and transform consciences.
In your immaculate heart reveal the light of hope for everyone! Amen.
John Paul II
