At that moment of your greatest suffering you became the Mother of every disciple! We now desire, dearest Mother, to take you into the home of our hearts as our Mother and our Queen. Beloved Mary, you have shown your maternal love for humanity through your apparitions, most especially at Tepeyac, Lourdes and Fatima, and in so many other places. We turn to you today as we celebrate the 100 th anniversary of your final appearance to the shepherd children of Fatima—Lucia, Jacinta and Francisco—to consecrate ourselves anew to you, beloved Mother, desiring to be placed under the mantle of your protection, knowing in faith that you will always lead us to your Son, Jesus. We give to you dearest Mother, our hearts, minds, wills, souls and bodies, that we may always keep our eyes fixed on Jesus and give glory to the Father in our words and actions, just as you give glory to the Father! We consecrate to your Immaculate Heart, dearest Mother, our lives, our families, our parishes, and the Archdiocese of Denver. Mary, through your intercession lead us to the Heart of your Son, so that our hearts may become pure as your heart is pure. Help us to have the same trust in God’s Word being fulfilled in us, as you trusted in his Word being fulfilled in you. Help us to grow in gratitude, and to pronounce our own Fiat to the Lord’s Word to us today, so that we may be filled with the same joy that you sang out in your Magnificat. Beloved Mary, you know the darkness and sin in our world, and how much our world needs today the light and truth of your Son, Jesus. Help us to turn to him who is the Way, the Truth and the Life, so that we may be truly free and able to love as he loved, and be merciful as he was merciful. Help us to grow in the gifts and virtues of the Holy Spirit who overshadowed us in our Baptism and Confirmation and made us adopted daughters and sons of the Father. Help each one of us to live the mission entrusted to us, to give witness to your Son, no matter the cost! (…) Beloved Mother of the New Evangelization, help us in our time to bring the Gospel to others, most especially the poor, the outcast, the immigrant, and the sinner. You, dearest Lady, have called people to your Son in your apparitions throughout the world, and so we ask you to help us to carry out the Great Commission he gave to us before his Ascension into heaven: to go out to all the world and proclaim the Good News! Most Rev. Samuel J. Aquila, Archbishop of Denver Come on Friday, October 13th to the parish at 7:30 pm for the Act of Consecration with the Archbishop!
