Year A - Fr. Derek Thome

Fr. Derek Thome - Jan. 1, 2020

Most Holy Virgin Mary, tender Mother of all, we consecrate the Catholic Diocese of Wichita all our parishes, schools, religious institutes, chapels, hospitals, clinics, all our ministries, all our families and each and every person to your Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart, O Queen of the Most Holy Rosary.

Please accept our consecration, Dearest Mother, and use us as you wish to accomplish your designs upon the world. O sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary and Queen of the world, rule over us together with the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ, Our King.

Save us from the spreading flood of paganism, relativism, heresy and apostasy. Kindle in our hearts and homes the love of purity, the practice of virtuous life, an ardent zeal for souls, a deeper love for Christ your Son in the Eucharist and fidelity to all the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church

We come with confidence to you, O Throne of Grace and Mother of Fair Love. Inflame us with the same Divine Fire which has inflamed your own Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart.

Make our hearts and homes your shrine and through us make the Heart of Jesus together with you rule triumphant in every heart and home.
