Prayers for Healing
Consecration
of the Sick to Mary
O
kind and good Mother,
whose own soul was pierced
by the sword of sorrow,
look upon us while,
in our sickness,
we arraign ourselves beside
you on the Calvary where your Jesus
hangs.
Dowered with the high grace of suffering,
and hopeful of fulfilling in our own flesh
what is wanting in our sharing of Christ's
passion, on behalf of his Mystical Body,
the Church, we consecrate to you
ourselves and our pain.
We pray that you will place them
on that Altar of the Cross to which Jesus
is affixed. May they be little victims of
propitiation for our salvation,
for the salvation of all peoples.
O Mother of Sorrows,
accept this consecration.
Strengthen our hopeful
hearts, that as partakers
of Christ's sufferings
we may also share in
his comfort now
and for evermore.
Amen.
