Our Lady of
Czestochowa
to On
This Day, O Beautiful Mother
O Mother of God,
Immaculate Mary, to thee do I dedicate my body and soul, all my
prayers and deeds, my joys and sufferings, all that I am and all
that I have.
With a joyful
heart, I surrender myself to thy bondage of love. To thee will I
devote my services of my own free will for the salvation of
mankind, and for the help of the Holy Church whose Mother thou
art.
From now on, my
only desire is to do all things with thee, through thee, and for
thee. I know I can accomplish nothing by my own strength, whereas
thou canst do everything that is the will of thy Son and thou art
always victorious. Grant, therefore, O Helper of the faithful,
that my family, parish, and homeland might become in truth the
Kingdom where thou reignest with thy Son, Jesus. Amen.
