The Association of Mary Queen of All Hearts

THE PRAYER, MAJESTIC QUEEN OF HEAVEN

Majestic 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 me
and drive far from me the cruel foe.

Holy Angels and Archangels,
defend us and keep us.

Amen.

PRAYER OF POPE JOHN XXIII
Love Of Mary

Holy Immaculate Mary,
help all who are in trouble.
Give courage to the faint-hearted,
console the sad,
heal the infirm,
pray for the people,
intercede for the clergy,
have a special care for nuns;
may all feel,
all enjoy Your kind and powerful assistance,
all who now and always render and will render,
You honour,
and will offer You their petitions.
Hear all our prayers, O Mother,
and grant them all.
We are all Your children:
Grant the prayers of Your children.

Amen forever.

ACT OF DEDICATION TO OUR LADY

Most holy, immaculate Virgin Mary,
to Your motherly heart Jesus entrusted His disciples
and to us He has given You.
I thank You, O most beautiful and noble of women,
that You have always loved me as a mother,
and I want to provide afresh for You an honored place in my life.
Obtain for me from Jesus
the gift of a new beginning and a new heart:
a heart open and obedient to God's Word;
a heart simple as a child's;
a heart bold in sacrifice;
a chaste heart;
a thankful heart;
a compassionate heart;
a heart like Yours,
O Mary.
Enfold in Your mercy, dear Mother,
all my dear ones especially....(pause)
and all who have a special claim to Your help

- children and young people,
-the sick and the suffering,
-the forgotten and the poor of this world.

Join Your prayers to our petitions
for those who do not cease to be Your children
even though they have abandoned the faith and fallen into sin.
May a remembrance of Your love and beauty
touch their hearts at depths we can not reach.
As at Pentecost,
so now pray for the Church;
pray for our parish,
our priests,
our Brothers and our Sisters,
and for all of us,
who strive to serve others in the name of Jesus, Your Son.
With all generations,
we will ever call You blessed, O Mary,
our Mother of Perpetual Help,
for God, the Almighty,
has indeed done great things for You,
and You have been and are so gracious to us:
O clement, O loving,
O sweet Virgin Mary.

Amen.

ACCLAMATIONS IN PRAISE OF MARY
(By Saint Alphonsus Liguori.)

The whole world should know that the dear children of Mary
are the best of Heaven and earth:
they are the spoilt children,
who enjoy all the choicest possessions of their Mother;
they are the beloved Benjamins,
who being caressed in the bosom of the Queen of Heaven,
are doubly favored and doubly caressed
by the Majesty of God.
This I hope, O most beautiful Rachel;
and this I am confident that Thou wilt do,
O sovereign Princess.
In the name of what Thou art, do it;
for all Heaven prostrate at Thy feet beseeches Thee,
and with importunity asks it of Thee.
Say only yes, pronounce only a loving consent;
be it done, be it done, fiat, fiat!
O men, of what are you thinking?
How can you love earthly, deceitful, and lying creatures,
which betray you and cause you to lose your souls,
your bodies, Paradise, and God!
And why do you not love the most loving,
the most amiable,
the most faithful Mary, Who,
after having enriched you with consolations and graces in this life,
will obtain you from Her Divine beloved Son
the eternal glory of Paradise?
O Mary, Mary, more beautiful than all creatures,
lovely after Jesus above all loves,
more dear than all created things,
gracious above every grace,
pity this miserable heart of mine;
miserable because it does not love Thee;
and it ought to love Thee.
Thou canst inflame it with Thy holy love.
Turn, O Mary, Thy loving eyes upon me;
look at me, and draw me to Thee;
and grant that after God I may love no other but Thee,
most gracious, most amiable Mary,
Mother of Jesus, and my Mother.

Amen.

Hi Christine I'm doing well. I have actually found quite the opposite thing with the people that I have met over the past year. I go to Mass daily, and I have been fortunate enough to find others that go to daily Mass also have done the Total Consecration to Mary. Mind you, I'm not that outgoing, so I don't meet many people, but those that I have met have done the Consecration. I even met a priest that had done the Consecration. But yes, in general, I don't think most people feel that it is necessary, though for me it is....good thing for us! The Blessed Mother of God can give us more of Her Love! ...though not really, since God gives Her as much Love as She needs, which means that She has access to an infinite supply!

Oh yes, I start my 33 day preparation tomorrow...we'll see what it brings me this year...it was a great Blessing last year!

God Bless

Hi Wheels how are you? Please check out my forum thread on the Apostles of the Virgin Mary http://forums.catholic.com/showthrea...8#post10673358
How is everything? You will be renewing your consecration soon hey? I remember you did yours in May. How are you finding it living it all? I find it great though I get very sad at how no one wants to know about this Marian consecration and hardly anyone has done it. I have met maybe 6 people in real life who have done it. It saddens me that no one else wants to do it, even Priests.... Oh well all we can do is pray for them. I guess the Holy Spirit is not calling them to this.I feel very thankful to God and Mary that I had found out about the Marian consecration because it has helped me sooo much

ACCLAMATIONS IN PRAISE OF MARY
(By Saint Alphonsus Liguori.)

And I also, O heavenly Princess,
with Thy permission,
although I am the least of Thy servants,
I will also make my acclamations of wonder and astonishment.
O gracious and beautiful heaven,
more vast than the heavens themselves,
for they cannot contain God,
Who is immense, but He concealed Himself in Thy womb;
O richest of all treasures,
in which was deposited the treasure of our redemption;
O Mother of sinners,
under Whose mantle we are defended;
O consolation of the world,
in which all who are afflicted, infirm,
and disconsolate, find consolation;
O beautiful eyes, which steal hearts;
O coral lips, which imprison souls;
O generous hands, filled with lilies,
and which always distribute graces;
O pure creature, Who appearest a God,
and Whom I should have taken for a God,
had not faith taught me that Thou art not so,
although Thou hast a splendor,
and I know not what of Divine sovereignty;
O great Lady, empress of Heaven,
enjoy for a thousand eternities the greatness of Thy state,
the immensity of Thy greatness,
and the happiness of Thy glory.
We only beseech Thee, O compassionate Mother,
not to forget us,
who glory in being Thy servants and children.
And since in Thee are deposited all graces,
and the best and most privileged of all created things,
grant, O Lady, that we, Thy devout children,
may be favored more beyond comparison than are all other men on earth.

Amen.

ACCLAMATIONS IN PRAISE OF MARY
(By Saint Alphonsus Liguori.)

Thus, O most sacred Virgin, the Saints,
considering Thee in the midst of such splendor more beautiful than the sun,
and more fair than the moon,
which are the ornament and concentration of all beauty;
and considering the acclamations of joy which attend Thee in Heaven,
can never cease their astonishment at Thy beauty,
and can only exclaim and burst forth
in acclamation of wonder and astonishment.
Saint Peter Damian exclaims in his admiration,
"O holy and most holy of all Saints,
richest treasure of all sanctity."
Saint Bernard: "O admirable Virgin,
O woman honor of all women, the best,
the greatest that the world ever possessed.
Saint Epiphanius: "O heaven, greater and vaster than the heavens themselves;
O Virgin, truly full of grace."
And the Catholic Church, in the name of all, exclaims,
"O most clement, most pious, and most sweet Virgin Mary."

Amen.

ACCLAMATIONS IN PRAISE OF MARY
(By Saint Alphonsus Liguori.)

In fine, O sovereign Princess,
from the immense ocean of Thy beauty
the beauty and grace of all creatures flowed forth as rivers.
The sea learnt to curl its waves,
and to wave its crystal waters from Thy golden hair,
which gracefully floated over Thy shoulders and ivory neck.
The crystal fountains and their transparent depths learnt their tranquil
and steady flow from the serenity of Thy beautiful brow
and placid countenance.
The lovely rainbow,
when in full beauty,
learnt with studious care its graceful bend from Thy eyebrows,
thus better to send forth its rays of light.
The morning star itself,
and the sweet star of night,
are sparks from Thy beautiful eyes.
The white lilies and ruby roses
stole their colors from Thy lovely cheeks.
Envious purple and coral sigh for the color of Thy lips.
The most delicious milk and sweetest honey
are distillations from the sweet honeycomb of Thy mouth.
The scented jasmine and fragrant Damasc rose
stole their perfume from Thy breath.
The loftiest cedar and the most erect,
the fairest cypress,
were happy when they beheld their image in Thy erect and lofty neck.
The palm tree, emulous and jealous,
likened itself to Thy noble stature.
In fine, O Lady,
every created beauty is a shadow and trace of Thy beauty.
And thus I wonder not,
O sovereign Princess,
that Heaven and earth place themselves under Thy feet;
for such are they,
and Thou art so great,
that to he only under Thy feet enriches them,
and they esteem themselves happy and blessed in kissing them.
Thus did the moon rejoice
when the evangelist Saint John saw her under Thy feet,
and the sun increased in splendor
when it clothed Thee with its rays of light.
The Evangelist, blinded by the brilliancy of Thy light,
was lost in wonder and ravished out of himself
at the sight of so stupendous a miracle of beauty,
in which the beauty of Heaven and earth was concentrated, and he said,
"There appeared a great sign in Heaven."
A great miracle appeared in the heavens,
a miracle which filled the Angels with astonishment,
and caused the earth to tremble.
That miracle was, a woman clothed from head to foot in light and splendor.
The resplendent Sun itself chose Her for His Mother,
and placed Himself in Her womb;
the fair moon covers Her feet as sandals edged with silver;
a multitude of stars crown Her brow, and,
emulating one with another,
bind Her locks together,
and form upon Her head a diadem of precious gems:
"and on Her head a crown of twelve stars."

Amen.

(By Saint Alphonsus Liguori.)

Saint Augustine,
the bright light of doctors,
contemplated Thee,
and Thou didst appear to him so fair and beautiful,
that he called Thee the countenance of God,
and it did not seem to him adulation.
Thy devout son Albert the Great contemplated Thee,
and to him it seemed that all the graces and gifts
which were in the most celebrated women of the old dispensation,
were all in a much higher degree in Thee:
the golden mouth of Sarah, which, smiling,
rejoices Heaven and earth;
the sweet and tender look of the faithful Lia,
with which Thou didst soften the heart of God,
hardened against sinners;
the splendor of countenance of the beautiful Rachel,
for with Thy beauty Thou dost eclipse the sun;
the grace and demeanor of the discreet Abigail,
by which Thou didst appease an angry God;
the vivacity and strength of the valiant Judith,
for by Thy power and Thy grace Thou dost subdue the most ferocious hearts.

Amen.
