Pope Francis united to all the Bishops and Catholic faithful around the world will consecrate Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on Friday, the feast of the Annunciation.

The Act of Consecration will be prayed during the "24 Hours for the Lord" Lenten penitential service in St. Peter’s Basilica, which begins at 5 PM Rome time.

The Pope will pray the Act of Consecration around 6:30 PM, and has asked all Bishops and priests to join him spiritually in this prayer, which will be broadcast across our Vatican News channels - radio, website, YouTube, and Facebook - with English-language commentary.

We are all enjoined to take time today and plead for mercy by saying this prayer at any time for success of this consecration and that it leads to peace in Ukraine, Russia and the whole world

Here below is the official translation of the Act of Consecration:

"O Mary, Mother of God and our Mother, in this time of trial we turn to you. As our Mother, you love us and know us: no concern of our hearts is hidden from you. Mother of mercy, how often we have experienced your watchful care and your peaceful presence! You never cease to guide us to Jesus, the Prince of Peace.

Yet we have strayed from that path of peace. We have forgotten the lesson learned from the tragedies of the last century, the sacrifice of the millions who fell in two world wars. We have disregarded the commitments we made as a community of nations. We have betrayed peoples’ dreams of peace and the hopes of the young. We grew sick with greed, we thought only of our own nations and their interests, we grew indifferent and caught up in our selfish needs and concerns. We chose to ignore God, to be satisfied with our illusions, to grow arrogant and aggressive, to suppress innocent lives and to stockpile weapons. We stopped being our neighbour’s keepers and stewards of our common home. We have ravaged the garden of the earth with war and by our sins we have broken the heart of our heavenly Father, who desires us to be brothers and sisters. We grew indifferent to everyone and everything except ourselves. Now with shame we cry out: Forgive us, Lord!

Holy Mother, amid the misery of our sinfulness, amid our struggles and weaknesses, amid the mystery of iniquity that is evil and war, you remind us that God never abandons us, but continues to look upon us with love, ever ready to forgive us and raise us up to new life. He has given you to us and made your Immaculate Heart a refuge for the Church and for all humanity. By God’s gracious will, you are ever with us; even in the most troubled moments of our history, you are there to guide us with tender love.

We now turn to you and knock at the door of your heart. We are your beloved children. In every age you make yourself known to us, calling us to conversion. At this dark hour, help us and grant us your comfort. Say to us once more: “Am I not here, I who am your Mother?” You are able to untie the knots of our hearts and of our times. In you we place our trust. We are confident that, especially in moments of trial, you will not be deaf to our supplication and will come to our aid.

That is what you did at Cana in Galilee, when you interceded with Jesus and he worked the first of his signs. To preserve the joy of the wedding feast, you said to him: “They have no wine” (Jn 2:3). Now, O Mother, repeat those words and that prayer, for in our own day we have run out of the wine of hope, joy has fled, fraternity has faded. We have forgotten our humanity and squandered the gift of peace. We opened our hearts to violence and destructiveness. How greatly we need your maternal help!

Therefore, O Mother, hear our prayer.
Star of the Sea, do not let us be shipwrecked in the tempest of war.
Ark of the New Covenant, inspire projects and paths of reconciliation.
Queen of Heaven, restore God’s peace to the world.
Eliminate hatred and the thirst for revenge, and teach us forgiveness.
Free us from war, protect our world from the menace of nuclear weapons.
Queen of the Rosary, make us realize our need to pray and to love.
Queen of the Human Family, show people the path of fraternity.
Queen of Peace, obtain peace for our world.

O Mother, may your sorrowful plea stir our hardened hearts. May the tears you shed for us make this valley parched by our hatred blossom anew. Amid the thunder of weapons, may your prayer turn our thoughts to peace. May your maternal touch soothe those who suffer and flee from the rain of bombs. May your motherly embrace comfort those forced to leave their homes and their native land. May your Sorrowful Heart move us to compassion and inspire us to open our doors and to care for our brothers and sisters who are injured and cast aside.

Holy Mother of God, as you stood beneath the cross, Jesus, seeing the disciple at your side, said: “Behold your son” (Jn 19:26). In this way he entrusted each of us to you. To the disciple, and to each of us, he said: “Behold, your Mother” (v. 27). Mother Mary, we now desire to welcome you into our lives and our history. At this hour, a weary and distraught humanity stands with you beneath the cross, needing to entrust itself to you and, through you, to consecrate itself to Christ. The people of Ukraine and Russia, who venerate you with great love, now turn to you, even as your heart beats with compassion for them and for all those peoples decimated by war, hunger, injustice and poverty.

Therefore, Mother of God and our Mother, to your Immaculate Heart we solemnly entrust and consecrate ourselves, the Church and all humanity, especially Russia and Ukraine. Accept this act that we carry out with confidence and love. Grant that war may end and peace spread throughout the world. The “Fiat” that arose from your heart opened the doors of history to the Prince of Peace. We trust that, through your heart, peace will dawn once more. To you we consecrate the future of the whole human family, the needs and expectations of every people, the anxieties and hopes of the world.

Through your intercession, may God’s mercy be poured out on the earth and the gentle rhythm of peace return to mark our days. Our Lady of the “Fiat”, on whom the Holy Spirit descended, restore among us the harmony that comes from God. May you, our “living fountain of hope”, water the dryness of our hearts. In your womb Jesus took flesh; help us to foster the growth of communion. You once trod the streets of our world; lead us now on the paths of peace. Amen."

Who is our lady?

Una mistress nkọ?

A stitch in time saves nine!
All he needs to do as the overseer of Catholics is teach them the things Jesus commanded his disciples:

“These things I have spoken to you, so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be made full. THIS IS MY COMMANDMENT, THAT YOU LOVE ONE ANOTHER JUST AS I HAVE LOVED YOU. NO ONE HAS LOVE GREATER THAN THIS, THAT SOMEONE SHOULD SURRENDER HIS LIFE IN BEHALF OF HIS FRIENDS. You are my friends if you do what I am commanding you" John 15:11-14

If his church has impressed this teachings in the hearts of members no Catholic Church member will raise a weapon in support of any politician to kill his fellowman! Matthew 26:52

In the absence of that no amount of prayers can stop the calamities they're bringing upon themselves after God's only begotten Son has taught us how to avert such. So it their failure to inculcate the LOVE for God {Matthew 17:5} which His Son taught us in the hearts of their members that's the problem now this has nothing to do with God or Mary!

HitSong:


Who is our lady?

The Blessed Virgin Mary.

BarrElChapo:

The Blessed Virgin Mary.

She got married, had relations with her husband and had several children after the birth of her first miraculous child. So she was once a virgin but she later loose her virginity in her marriage after getting pregnant for Joseph and having several kids for him! Matthew 13:55-56

Lol.... Humans and self-deception



Meanwhile the Vatican that never deemed it fit to consecrate Tigray and Ethiopia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary despite all the atrocities happening there are now consecrating Russia and Ukraine to the Heart of Mary... Bleeping Racists.

I've always told people this, as a black man forget all what you've been told, nobody send you. Not the foreigners, not their Gods, and not even your own Leaders.

Like for pope Francis share for Putin



I buy all countries giftcards. I buy GREENDOT/PAYPAL FUNDS @ your own rate. I sell google voice bulk and unit @ cheaper price ✅ 08102481873

Lol.


Hey pop. That's a sculpture. It has no life in it.

Scam

Prayer our lady can do much here

Good move.

There should be more engagement in this war...it will be bad if they get to the level where it spills and nuclear weapons become an option! Amen to Pope's Prayers... Don't condemn other people, just pray your own

HitSong:


Who is our lady?

you dey mind them

Hmm! I am not judging, but sometimes I can't help but think that something is off about catholicism, particularly when I try to link their rituals and deification of personalities other than Christ. It just seems kinda impure and inconsistent with the doctrine of just "worshiping God in Spirit and Truth" only.

Anyways God knows best.

Who ask you, Aproko Manager?
You are talking because Seun didn't ask you to recite Hail Mary or swear an oath with the Apostolic creed before you can log-in to comment like it's done in Muslim related threads.

Who is your lady? Just asking

That'll good

Good one pope

Investigative:
Scam

are you not more than a scam yourself?

The Only lady you Catholics serve is Mary marguela, The Queen of the sea. Go and ask your pope. And stop being deceived.

The senseless loss and disruption of human lives because of ego.

As long as what Catholics believe in does not pose a security risk to you nor affect your personal relationship with your creator, you should face front.
