Prayer for Renewal of Consecration to Our Patroness of the United States of America, the Immaculate Conception

Most holy trinity: Our father in heaven,
who chose Mary as the fairest of your daughters;
Holy Spirit, who chose Mary as your spouse;
God the son, who chose Mary as your mother;
in union with Mary,
we adore your majesty and acknowledge
Your supreme, eternal dominion and authority.

Most holy trinity, we put the United States of America
into the hands of Mary immaculate in order that she
may present the country to you.
Through her we wish to thank you for the great resources of this land
and for the freedom, which has been its heritage.
Through the intercession of Mary,
have mercy on the Catholic Church in America.
Grant us peace.
Have mercy on our president
and on all the officers of our government.
Grant us a fruitful economy born of justice and charity.
Have mercy on capital and industry and labor.
Protect the family life of the nation.
Guard the precious gift of many religious vocations.
Through the intercession of our mother,
have mercy on the sick, the poor, the tempted, sinners –
on all who are in need.

Mary, immaculate virgin, our mother, patroness of our land,
we praise you and honor you and give our country
and ourselves to your sorrowful and immaculate heart.
O’ sorrowful and immaculate heart of Mary
pierced by the sword of sorrow
prophesized by Simeon save us from degeneration,
disaster and war. Protect us from all harm.
O’ sorrowful and immaculate heart of Mary,
you who bore the sufferings of your son
in the depths of your heart be our advocate.
Pray for us, that acting always according to your will
and the will of your Divine Son,
we may live and die pleasing to God.
Amen.
