Me at the Hour of My Death. Amen

Indulgence of 300 days, for each recitation. — Pius X, Nov. 17, 1906. Devotions in Honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary 563 II ACT OF CONSECRATION By St. Francis de Sales /T\ost Holy Mary, virgin Mother of God, I (fuU name), most unworthy though I am to be thy servant, yet touched by thy motherly care for me and longing to serve thee, do, in the presence of my guardian angel and all the court of heaven, choose thee this day to be my queen, my advocate, and my mother, and I firmly purpose to serve thee evermore myself and to do what I can that all may render faithful service to thee. Therefore, most devoted Mother, through the pre- cious blood thy Son poured out for me, I beg thee and beseech thee, deign to take me among thy clients and receive me as thy servant forever. Aid me in my every action, and beg for me the grace never, by word or deed or thought, to be dis- pleasing in thy sight and that of thy most holy Son. Think of me, my dearest Mother, and desert me not at the hour of death. Amen
