Following a request from bishop`s house at all Masses this weekend we united ourselves with Pope Francis as he consecrated the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary today in the presence of the Statue of Our Lady
of the Rosary from the Capelinha (Little Chapel of the Apparitions) from Fatima.
We united ourselves with the Holy Father today by saying the consecration
prayer at Mass.
Consecration Prayer
to the Immaculate Heart of Mary
Virgin Mary, Mother
of God and our Mother, to your Immaculate Heart we consecrate ourselves,
in an act of total entrustment and of oblation to the Lord.
By you we will be led
to Christ your Son, and Only-Begotten Son of God, and by Him and with Him
to His Eternal Father. We shall walk in the light of faith, of hope and of
love so that the world may believe that Christ is the One sent by the
Father to give to us His word, and we, as His ambassadors, shall carry
His knowledge and love to the ends of the earth.
Thus under the
maternal protection of your Immaculate Heart, we will be one people with
Christ, ransomed by His death and witnesses of His Resurrection, and by
Him led to the Father for the glory of the Most Holy Trinity Whom
we adore, praise and bless. Amen
Unfortunately the Pope did not 'consecrate' but 'entrusted' and not to Our Lady's Immaculate Heart but to 'The Virgin Mary of Fatima'.
