Rosary Novena for Peace and a Quick End to War in Ukraine

Act of Entrustment and Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

“Our Mother for all time,

do not tire of ‘visiting us,’

consoling us, sustaining us.

Come to our aid

and deliver us from every danger

that threatens us.

With this act of entrustment and consecration,

we wish to welcome you

more deeply, more radically,

for ever and totally

into our lives.

Let your presence cause new blooms to burst forth

in the desert of our loneliness,

let it cause the sun to shine on our darkness,

let it restore calm after the tempest,

so that all mankind shall see the salvation

of the Lord,

who has the name and the face of Jesus,

who is reflected in our hearts,

for ever united to yours!

Amen.”

-- Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, given at Most Holy Trinity Church, Fatima, 2010
