33 Day Consecration – Day 13
Dear Family of Mary!
33 Day Prayer of Consecration to Our Lady of the Rosary – Day 13
In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit!
Receive our Consecration Prayer, O dearest Mother Mary!
When we pray the Rosary, we call upon Mary over and over again. “Hail Mary, full of grace….” “Holy Mary, Mother of God….” Her name permeates the prayer of the Rosary with her motherly presence. We may not realize it, but calling on Mary by name, over and over again, is powerful and necessary. When we pray Our Lady’s name, we send to her our love, our devotion, our trust and our commitment to her as our Mother, the Mother of our Savior, and the Woman who has been given the promise to defeat our enemy. Our hope really is in her, as the one chosen by the Father to give us Jesus. The more we say her name, the more we draw close to her. It is not unlike a toddler who says “Mama” over and over again, in contentment while rocking on their mother’s lap. We find our peace in her embrace.
St. John Paul II said something similar:
26. Meditation on the mysteries of Christ is proposed in the Rosary by means of a method designed to assist in their assimilation. It is a method based on repetition. This applies above all to the Hail Mary, repeated ten times in each mystery. If this repetition is considered superficially, there could be a temptation to see the Rosary as a dry and boring exercise. It is quite another thing, however, when the Rosary is thought of as an outpouring of that love which tirelessly returns to the person loved with expressions similar in their content but ever fresh in terms of the feeling pervading them. (St. John Paul II – On the Rosary)
There is an outpouring of love between Mary and her children when we pray the Rosary. It is the love we most desperately need! It is the relationship we crave. We need our Mother. She shows us who we are and draws us unto God.
July 25, 1988 “Dear children! Today I am calling you to a complete surrender to God. Everything you do and everything you possess give over to God so that He can take control in your life as the King of all that you possess. That way, through me, God can lead you into the depths of the spiritual life. Little children, do not be afraid, because I am with you even if you think there is no way out and that satan is in control. I am bringing peace to you I am your mother, the Queen of Peace. I am blessing you with the blessings of joy so that for you God may be everything in your life… Thank you for having responded to my call.”
Dearest Mother, thank you for being our Mother. Thank you for giving us your name, that we might call out to you day and night, in our needs, in our hopes, in our fears, and in our love. You have given us the Rosary as the prayer that keeps us close to you, constantly. Thank you!
Supplication to the Queen of the Holy Rosary:
“O Blessed Rosary of Mary, sweet chain which unites us to God, bond of love which unites us to the angels, tower of salvation against the assaults of Hell, safe port in our universal shipwreck, we will never abandon you. You will be our comfort in the hour of death: yours our final kiss as life ebbs away. And the last word from our lips will be your sweet name, O Queen of the Rosary of Pompei, O dearest Mother, O Refuge of Sinners, O Sovereign Consoler of the Afflicted. May you be everywhere blessed, today and always, on earth and in heaven”. (Blessed Bartolo Longo)
We commit ourselves to praying the Rosary for your intentions, dearest Mary, our Mother, as You enter this final battle with Satan, for the sake of souls. We will take up the Rosary as an obligation that we will fulfill with great joy! Together we will pray for Your Triumph over Satan, and for the coming of a New Time of Peace which has been given to us through You, Oh Clement, O Loving, O Sweet Virgin Mary!! Amen
Glory be to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit! As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen
Now we pray our Rosary for today! The Joyful Mysteries!!
