Prayer to Our Lady of Czestochowa
Holy Mother of Czestochowa, Thou art
full of grace, goodness, and mercy.
I consecrate to Thee all my thoughts,
words, and actions, my soul and body.
I beseech Thy blessings and especially
prayers for my salvation.
Today, I consecrate myself to Thee, Good
Mother, totally, with body and soul amid joy and suffering
to obtain for myself and others Thy
blessings on this earth and eternal life in Heaven. Amen
