The Act of Consecration

This picture was takenin the Field of Apparitions, on the evening of July 3, 2008, the vigil of the Birth of the United States. A Friend of Medjugorje had for years longed to offer a Consecration of the United States to Our Lady in Her presence from “we the people.” The evening of July 3, 2008, this desire became a reality when Our Lady appeared to Marija in the Field, and Marija offered to Our Lady the Consecration of the United States to Our Lady in Her presence. Since this time, other consecrations have taken place in Our Lady’s presence at Caritas in 2009, 2012, and 2013.

Our Lady of Medjugorje said on November 2, 2016:

“…My children, it is a time of vigilance. In this vigil I am calling you to prayer, love and trust…”

We are to pray in “vigil” so that we can do as Our Lady said on November 2, 2016:

“…The united love of my apostles will live, will conquer and will expose evil…”

The following Act of Consecration was written by a Friend of Medjugorje on June 24, 2008, and prayed publicly for the first time on July 3, 2008, the vigil of the birth of the United States. This Act of Consecration is a special prayer, which has been updated for this year, should be prayed throughout the day today, during your prayer group, family prayer, with co-workers, etc., so that Our Lady may, in this Her time, live, conquer, and expose evil. Be prayer especially in these next two days.

The Solemn Act of
Consecration of Our Nation
[Written for] July Fourth, The Year of Our Lord –
Two Thousand and Eight
To You, Our Queen, Holy Virgin Mary for this Day of Deliverance

We the people, in your Holy presence, who are nothing, appeal to your Heavenly Queenly power of intercession before God, as our Mother. As such, we your children appeal most urgently, most direly with a cry of lamentation as of the city of Nineveh, who were a people who humbled themselves and repented and God relented of His judgment against them. We, O Queen, deserve Divine judgment. We realize that civilizations across time and cultures who crossed the line of decadence that we have crossed, all met with their end. The signs of the time speak to us of our nation. We have little time left. We your children, therefore, make our plea of consecration at this moment, giving directly to you this nation, whose might and glory, we acknowledge, began and came through being foundationed on your Son’s, our Savior’s, principles. Through this entrustment, we beg to include our whole future into your hands. Please, at this moment, accept our [24] years of novenas*, our prayers, our sacrifices, and heal our land. We know it starts with our hearts, so we give you our hearts to heal our land. May this consecration give into your possession this land, that God may look down upon what is yours and heal this land. O Queen, who can we turn to but you? We look for no other remedy, with our recourse only to you. Pray over us at this moment. Pray over our nation now on this day of deliverance. Please stretch out your arms and place a seal across this nation with your prayers while you are in our midst. Let this seal be as a sign to the Father. O Holy Queen, take this consecration, the ownership of our nation, and as its Queen heal this land. With the dreams of our fathers, on this day of remembrance of our nation’s birth, think of your Son’s birth and remember not the sins of this land, but rather how much this nation has dispensed the liberty of the Gospel to the world. Please heal this land. Lord of our nation, we crown you King with Our Lady’s hands through this consecration to rule over us, over everything. Thank you O Mother. Thank you Our Queen. Thank you for being present. May Christ grant our nation deliverance through this consecration. Amen
