- Queen of the Holy Rosary,
- Help of the Christians,
- Refuge of the human race,
- Conqueress in God’s battlefields,
- To You and to Your Immaculate Heart
- In this tragic hour of human history
- We entrust and consecrate ourselves,
- And the Holy Church.
- She is the Mystical Body of Your Jesus,
- Suffering and bleeding in so many parts
- And tormented in so many ways,
- We consecrate to You the whole world torn by bitter strive
- And consumed by the fire of hatred
- The victim of its own wickedness.
- Look with compassion to all material and moral destruction
- To the suffering and fears of fathers and mothers
- Of husbands and wives, of brother and sisters and innocent children.
- Look at the many lives cut down in the flower of youth
- So many bodies torn to pieces in brutal slaughter
- So many souls tortured and troubled
- And in danger of being lost eternally.
- Oh, Mother of Mercy, obtain peace for us from God!
- Obtain especially those graces, which can convert human hearts quickly.
- Those graces, which can prepare, establish and insure peace.
- Queen of Peace, pray for us;
- Give the world at war the peace for which all are longing,
- Peace in Truth, Justice and the Charity of Christ.
- Give them peace of the arms and peace of mind,
- That in tranquillity and order
- The Kingdom of God may expand.
- Grant Your protection to infidels
- And to those still walking in the shadow of death;
- Give them peace and permit that the sun of truth may raise upon them;
- And that together with us
- They may repeat before the Only Saviour of the World:
- Glory to God in the highest
- And peace on earth among men of good will (Lk2.14)
- Give peace to the people separated by error and schism,
- Particularly those, who have special devotion to You
- And among whom there was no home,
- Where Your venerable Icon was not honoured,
- Though at present it may be hidden
- In the hope for better days.
- Bring them back to the One Fold of Christ,
- Under the One True Shepherd.
- Obtain peace and complete liberty for the Holy Church of God,
- Check the spreading flood of neo-paganism,
- Arouse within the faithful love of purity
- The practice of Christian life and apostolic zeal,
- So that the people who serve God,
- May increase in merit and number.
- All of humanity were once consecrated to the Heart of Your Son.
- All our hopes rest in Him, Who is in all times
- Sign and pledge of victory and salvation.
- Forever we consecrate ourselves to You
- And to Your Immaculate Heart,
- Oh, Mother and Queen of the World!
- May Your love and patronage hasten the victory of the Kingdom of God,
- May all nations, at peace with each other and with God, proclaim You Blessed
- And sing with You from one end of the earth to the other,
- The eternal Magnificat of glory, love and gratitude
- To the Heart of Jesus, in which alone,
- They can find Truth, Life and Peace.
