SODALITY ACT OF CONSECRATION
Holy Mary, Immaculate Virgin, Mother of God, I choose you this day for my Mother, Queen, Patroness, and Advocate, and I firmly resolve never to depart, either in word or action, from the duty which I owe to you, nor to suffer those committed in my charge, and to say or do anything against your honor and respect which you deserve. Receive me, therefore, as your devoted servant forever, assist me in all the actions of my life, and forsake me not at the hour of my death. Amen
