O Glorious Queen of Heaven and Earth, our most Immaculate and ever Virginal Mother of God and our Mother, we consecrate today our marriage and new family to Thee to ever be thy faithful children and to serve Thee in the cause of the honor and glory of God Most High, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

We thank you for the marvelous providence whereby God your Son and St. Joseph you most faithful and chaste Spouse have brought us together, and while we pledge you all our undying devotion and love, we humbly beg you to take us and the children God the Father may deign to grant us, under your motherly care, we most earnestly plead that Thou our Heavenly Mother be so good as to take us up into Thy most loving embrace; spread Thy most powerful care as a mantle over us, and set one of the devoted Angels of Thy celestial court to protect us: to ever keep us faithful to this pledge.

In Jesus’ Name we pray, Amen. ALLELUIA!
