CONSECRATION PRAYER TO GOD THE FATHER OF ALL MANKIND

My Dearest Father,please accept this offering of myself – My Body, Mind and Soul:

I PRAISE You for Your Creation – All Your Works and Wonders.
I THANK You for giving me life and for all that You have done for me.
I OFFER up to You all that You have so generously given me.
I am sincerely SORRY for not knowing, loving, serving and honoring You as I should.
I embrace my INHERITANCE as Your child, both the joy and the responsibilities.
I give You my “YES” so that I may be an instrument of Your Will.
I pledge my FIDELITY and I ask for the grace of steadfastness and perseverance in my faith.

Most loving, caring and merciful of Fathers, in Your Divine Presence, I sincerely proclaim my love for You; I give myself and my family to You; and I solemnly CONSECRATE myself (and my family) to You - now and forever.

Dearest Father, as Your child, I ask - that You send Mary to guide me to Jesus, and that Jesus sends me the Holy Spirit so that they may all bring me to You. That You dwell with me and in me – a living temple prepared by Mary, dedicated to Jesus, and purified by Your Holy Spirit. And may I always be with You and in You. That You permit me, as Your child, to be Your true and intimate friend – one who loves You above all things. And that You come for me when I die, to bring me home to You.

I further ask You, Father, for the sake of all mankind:

To have mercy on all Your children - past, present and future.
To bring peace to the world and to gather all Your children to Yourself.
And that Your Kingdom comes and Your Will is done on earth as it is in heaven.

Amen.

----- excerpts taken from the aforementioned link: "There are many Feast Days in our Church for Jesus and Mary; there is a Feast Day for the Holy Spirit and the Trinity, but there is no specific Feast Day to honour our Father. We wish to change this, by petitioning the Vatican to introduce a Feast Day in August as the Father has requested. The message has been given an Imprimatur Petrus Canisius Van Lierde, Vic. Generalis e Vic. Civitatis Vaticanae, Roma Die 13 Martii 1989."
