O Virgin Immaculate, Mother of God and my Mother,
from thy sublime height turn upon me thine eyes of pity.
Filled with confidence in thy goodness and knowing full
well thy power, I beseech thee to extend to me thine
assistance in the journey of life, which is so full of
dangers for my soul. And in order that I may never be
the slave of the devil through sin, but may ever live
with my heart humble and pure, I entrust myself wholly
to thee. I consecrate my heart to thee forever, my only
desire being to love thy divine Son Jesus. Mary, none of
thy devout servants has ever perished; may I too be saved.
