The devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary brings many graces. The act of consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary can be done through more than one method and there is more than one daily prayer of consecration.
Both St. Louis de Montfort and St. Maximilian Kolbe have devotions to Mary that include consecration preparation and a special consecration day. The consecration prayer here is a daily prayer of renewal that can be prayed after a consecration preparation. Both St. Louis de Montfort and St. Maximilian Kolbe’s preparations include about a month of daily prayers and examens.
Offering Prayers of Reparation for the Sins of the World
In July 1917, Our Lady gave a message to Sister Lucia.
She told her, “Jesus wishes to make use of you to make me known and loved. He wants to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. I promise salvation to those who embrace it, and these souls will be loved by God, like flowers placed by me to adorn His throne.”
The devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary is meant to unite humankind to God through Mary’s heart. On Dec. 10, 1925 the Blessed Mother appeared again to Sister Lucia with Jesus appearing as a child beside her, standing on a luminous cloud.
Sister Lucia said that the most holy Virgin rested her hand on her shoulder, and as she did this, she revealed her Immaculate Heart encircled by thorns. At the same time, the child said:
“Have compassion on the Heart of your most holy Mother, covered with thorns, with which ungrateful men pierce it at every moment, and there is no one to make an act of reparation to remove them.”
Then Our Lady told her:
“Look, my daughter, at my Heart, surrounded with thorns with which ungrateful men pierce me every moment by their blasphemies and ingratitude. You at least try to console me and say that I promise to assist at the hour of death, with the graces necessary for salvation, all those who, on the first Saturday of five consecutive months, shall confess, receive Holy Communion, recite five decades of the Rosary, and keep me company for fifteen minutes while meditating on the fifteen mysteries of the Rosary, with the intention of making reparation to me.”

Prayer of Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary
by St. Maximilian Kolbe
O Immaculata, Queen of Heaven and earth, refuge of sinners and our most loving Mother, God has willed to entrust the entire order of mercy to you. I, a repentant sinner, cast myself at your feet humbly imploring you to take me with all that I am and have, wholly to yourself as your possession and property. Please make of me, of all my powers of soul and body, of my whole life, death and eternity, whatever most pleases you.
If it pleases you, use all that I am and have without reserve, wholly to accomplish what was said of you: “She will crush your head,” and, “You alone have destroyed all heresies in the world.” Let me be a fit instrument in your immaculate and merciful hands for introducing and increasing your glory to the maximum in all the many strayed and indifferent souls, and thus help extend as far as possible the blessed kingdom of the most Sacred Heart of Jesus. For wherever you enter, you obtain the grace of conversion and growth in holiness, since it is through your hands that all graces come to us from the most Sacred Heart of Jesus.
℣. Allow me to praise you, O sacred Virgin.
℟. Give me strength against your enemies.
Amen
