O Virgin Mother of God,
Mary Immaculate,
We dedicate and consecrate ourselves to you
under the title
of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal.
May this Medal be for each one of us
a sure sign of your affection for us
and a constant reminder
of our duties toward you.
Ever while wearing it,
may we be blessed
by your loving protection
and preserved in the grace of your Son.
O Most Powerful Virgin,
Mother of Our Savior,
keep us close to you
every moment of our lives.
Obtain for us, your children,
the grace of a happy death;
so that in union with you,
we may enjoy the bliss of Heaven forever.
Amen.
O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.
