 ian angel  and  all  the  court  of  heaven,  choose  thee  this day to  be  my  queen,  my  advocate,  and  my  mother, and I  firmly  purpose  to  serve  thee  evermore  myself, and to  do  what  I  can  that  all  may  render  faithful service to  thee.

Therefore, most  devoted  Mother,  through  the  precious blood  thy  Son  poured  out  for  me,  I  beg  thee  and beseech thee,  deign  to  take  me  among  thy  clients  and receive me  as  thy  servant  forever.

Aid me  in  my  every  action,  and  beg  for  me  the grace never,  by  word  or  deed  or  thought,  to  be  displeasing in  thy  sight  and  that  of  thy  most  holy  Son.

Think of  me,  my  dearest  Mother,  and  desert  me  not at the  hour  of  death. Amen.

Elder  Mullan,  S.J., an indulgence  of  300  days,  applicable  to  the  souls  in purgatory,  has  been  attached  to  the  devout  recitation, every time,  of  each  of  the  acts  of  consecration,  by members  regularly  enrolled  in  the  Sodality  of  the Blessed Virgin.
