To Our Lady

Consecration to Our Lady

Totus tuus

I am all yours, and all that I have is yours, my sweet Jesus, through Mary, your holy Mother. I give you my body and my soul, my goods, both interior and exterior, and even the value of all my good actions, past, present and to come; leaving to you the entire and full right of disposing of me, and all that belongs to me, without exception, according to your good pleasure, for the greater glory of God, in time and in eternity. Amen.

In Latin

Totus tuus ego sum, et ómnia mea tua sunt. Accípio te in mea ómnia. Præbe mihi cor tuum, María.
