FAMILY ACT OF CONSECRATION
TO THE IMMACULATE HEART OF
MARY IN TIMES OF PANDEMIC
Inspired by St. Louis De Monfort
To be prayed by the families and members of the Philippine Crusade of the
Queen of the Most Holy Rosary after the Rosary, as a special prayer on a
Saturday or as much as one intends.

Together with Saint Joseph Your most Chaste Spouse, With Saint
Michael the Archangel, and the whole cohort of the heavenly hosts,
we humbly kneel before Your Majesty oh Most Holy Mother of God,
bearing with us this ardent desire to forever consecrate ourselves to
Your safe keeping.

Oh Holy Mary, You who are the dawn of our redemption, the
Woman foretold of, whose feet will crush the head of the Serpent,
the untarnished Virgin prophesied from of old to bear in her womb
Emmanuel who is God with us: May your name be blessed forever!

You humbly accepted the message of the Angel that you would
bear the Son of the Most High God and be His true mother, thus, by
uttering your Fiat, You expressed Your unwavering commitment to
be at the service of His Will and by the overshadowing of the Holy
Spirit the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.

The Almighty God ordained that you name His Son Jesus to reveal
to all mankind that only in His Name we will be saved. This saving
power was first manifested through your most efficacious pleading
when He turned water into wine at the wedding feast at Cana.

You did not only intercede to Jesus on behalf of this newly wed
during their trouble at that present moment; but also whatever they
 will go throughout their married life. And for this reason the Lord
has appointed you to be our Mediatrix of All Grace.

And so we turn to You our loving Mother and Mediatrix of All

Grace, asking You to graciously hear the voices of our supplication.
Receive into Your hands the consecration of our family to Your
Immaculate Heart.

By the power which the Father bestowed upon you, crush the head
of the ancient serpent who is satan so as to end this pandemic that
has spread, not only in our country, but also throughout the world.

Chase and repress the evil spirits, who seek after the spread of
sickness, harm, division, and confusion in our society and in the
Church in this time of pandemic, through the aid of the whole
heavenly armies with Saint Michael as their chief.

Show unto us Your Maternal love and the glowing radiance from
Your Immaculate Heart, as You claim us as Your own servants and
slaves who, at this moment, are consecrating themselves to you.

Free us, our loved ones, and those to whom we are indebted of,
from all harm of body and soul, and, most urgently, deliver us from
the pandemic of COVID-19 so that we may have the freedom to
serve Your Majesty in this present life; so after we patiently bear the
hardships of this life for Your greatest possible Honor, we may have
the favor of joining you in unceasing adoration, and loving God in
Heaven for all eternity. Amen.

We fly unto your protection Oh Holy Mother of God. Do not despise

our petitions in our necessities but deliver us always from all
dangers Oh Glorious and Blessed Virgin. Amen.

Chaste Heart of St. Joseph, pray for us

Queen of the Most Holy Rosary of Pompeii, pray for us

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us

 THE SUPPLICA TO OUR LADY OF
THE MOST HOLY ROSARY OF
POMPEII
To be recited on May 8 and in First Sunday of October

O August Queen of Victories, O Sovereign of Heaven and Earth, at

whose name the heavens rejoice and the abyss trembles, O glorious
Queen of the Rosary, we your devoted children, assembled in your
temple of Pompeii, (on this solemn day), pour out the affection of
our heart and with filial confidence express our miseries to you.

From the throne of clemency, where you are seated as Queen, turn,
O Mary, your merciful gaze on us, on our families, on Italy, (the
Philippines) on Europe (and Asia), on the world. Have compassion
on the sorrows and cares which embitter our lives. See, O Mother,
how many dangers of body and soul, how many calamities and
afflictions press upon us.

O Mother, implore for us the mercy of your divine Son and conquer
with clemency the heart of sinners. They are our brothers and your
children who cause the heart of our sweet Jesus to bleed and who
sadden your most sensitive heart. Show all that you are the Queen
of Peace and of Pardon.

Hail Mary.

It is true that although we are your children we are the first to

crucify Jesus by our sins and to pierce anew your heart.

We confess that we are deserving of severe punishment, but

remember that, on Golgotha, you received with the divine blood, the
testament of the dying Savior, who declared you to be our Mother,
the Mother of sinners.
You then, as our Mother, are our Advocate, our Hope. And we raise
our suppliant hands to you with sighs crying "Mercy!" O good
Mother, have pity on us, on our souls, on our families, our relatives,
our friends, our deceased, especially our enemies, and on so many
who call themselves Christian and yet offend the heart of your
loving Son. Today we implore pity for the misguided nations
throughout all Europe, throughout the world, so that they may
return repentant to your heart.

Hail Mary.

Kindly deign to hear us. O Mary! Jesus has placed in your hands all
the treasures of his graces and mercies. You are seated a crowned
Queen at the right hand of your Son, resplendent with immortal
glory above the choirs of angels. Your dominion extends throughout
heaven and earth and all creatures are subject to you.

You are omnipotent by grace and therefore you can help us. Were
you not willing to help us, since we are ungrateful children and
undeserving of your protection, we would not know to whom to
turn. Your motherly heart would not permit you see us, your
children, lost. The Infant whom we see on your knees and the
blessed rosary which we see in your hand, inspire confidence in us
that we shall be heard. We confide fully in you, we abandon
ourselves as helpless children into the arms of the most tender of
mothers, and on this day, we expect from you the graces we so long
for.

Hail Mary.

One last favour we now ask of you, O Queen, which you cannot
refuse us (on this most solemn day): Grant to all of us your
steadfast love and in a special manner your maternal blessing. We
shall not leave you until you have blessed us. Bless, O Mary, at this
moment, our Holy Father. To the ancient splendors of your crown,
to the triumphs of your Rosary, whence you are called the Queen of
Victories, add this one also, O Mother: grant the triumph of religion
and peace to human society. Bless our bishops, priests and
particularly all those who are zealous for the honor of your
sanctuary. Bless finally all those who are associated with your
temple of Pompeii and all those who cultivate and promote devotion
to your Holy Rosary.

O blessed Rosary of Mary, sweet chain which unites us to God,

bond of love which unites us to the angels, tower of salvation
against the assaults of hell, safe port in our universal shipwreck, we
shall never abandon you. You will be our comfort in the hour of
agony: to you the last kiss of our dying life. And the last word from
our lips will be your sweet name, O Queen of the Rosary of Pompeii,
O dearest Mother, O Refuge of Sinners, O Sovereign Consoler of the
Afflicted. Be blessed everywhere, today and always, on earth and in
Heaven. Amen

Hail Holy Queen

 NOVENA OF PETITION
(Day 1-27)
Put the miraculous image of the Virgin of Pompei on display and, if possible, light two candles
as a symbol of the faith which burns in your heart. Then take the rosary beads in your hands.
Before beginning the Novena, pray to St. Catherine of Siena that she may graciously deign to
join you in prayer.

O Saint Catherine of Siena, my Protectress and Teacher, who from

Heaven assists your devotees when they recite the Rosary of Mary,
come to my aid in this moment and deign to recite with me the
Novena to the Queen of the Rosary, who has established the throne
of Her graces in the Valley of Pompei, that through your
intercession, I may obtain the grace I desire. Amen.

+ God, come to my assistance.

Lord, make haste to help me.
Glory be to the Father…

I. – O Immaculate Virgin and Queen of the Holy Rosary, in these

times of dead faith and triumphant impiety You wished to establish
your throne as Queen and Mother in the ancient land of Pompei,
the resting place of dead pagans. From that place, in which idols
and demons were worshipped, You today, as the Mother of divine
grace, shower everywhere the treasures of the heavenly mercies.
Now then, from the throne on which You graciously reign, turn also
on me your benign eyes, and have mercy on me who am so greatly
in need of your help. Show Yourself also to me, just like You have
shown yourself to so many others, as the true Mother of mercy:
while I, with all my heart, salute You and invoke You as my
Sovereign and Queen of the Holy Rosary.

Hail, Holy Queen

II. – Prostrate at the foot of your throne, O great and glorious Lady,
my soul venerates You amidst the groans and worries which afflict
it beyond measure. In this state of anguish and affliction in which I
find myself, I confidently raise my eyes to You, who have deigned to
choose the land of poor and abandoned peasants as your dwelling-
place. And there, before the city and the amphitheater where silence
and ruin reign, You, as the Queen of Victories, raised your powerful
voice to call from every part of Italy and the Catholic world your
devoted children to build a Temple to you. Now then, take pity on
this soul of mine that lies disheartened in the mud. Have mercy on
me, O Lady, have mercy on me who am overwhelmingly full of
miseries and humiliations. You, who are the Extermination of
demons, defend me from these enemies who besiege me. You, who
are the Help of Christians, deliver me from these tribulations that
wretchedly oppress me. You, who are our Life, triumph over death
that threatens my soul in these dangers to which it is exposed; give
me again peace, serenity, love and health. Amen.

Hail, Holy Queen

III. – Knowing that so many have been helped by You, solely

because they turned to You with faith, gives me new strength and
courage to invoke You in my needs. You once promised St. Dominic
that those who wish to receive graces, through your Rosary could
obtain them. And I, with your Rosary in my hands, dare to remind
you, O Mother, of your holy promises. Indeed, You yourself still
perform miracles in our times to call your children to honour You in
the Temple of Pompeii. You, therefore, long to wipe our tears away
and relieve our worries! Then I, with my heart on my lips and with
burning faith, call upon You and invoke You: My Mother!... Dear
Mother!... Beautiful Mother!... Most Sweet Mother, help me! Mother
and Queen of the Holy Rosary of Pompei, delay no longer in
stretching your powerful hand out to me to save me: for the delay,
as you see, would lead me to ruin.

Hail, Holy Queen

IV. – And to whom else might I turn, if not to You, who are the
Solace of the wretched, the Comfort of the forsaken, the Consolation
of the afflicted? I confess it to You, my soul is miserable: weighed
down by enormous faults, deserving to burn in hell, unworthy of
receiving graces! But are You not the Hope of those who despair, the
Mother of Jesus, the only Mediator between God and humanity, our
powerful Advocate before the throne of the Almighty, the Refuge of
sinners? Now then, if You only say a word on my behalf to your Son,
He will hear You. Therefore, ask Him, O Mother, for this grace
which I greatly need (Here express the grace you desire). You
alone can obtain it for me: You who are my only hope, my
consolation, my sweetness, my whole life. So I hope. Amen.

Hail, Holy Queen

V. – O Virgin and Queen of the Holy Rosary, You who are the
Daughter of the Heavenly Father, the Mother of the Divine Son, the
Spouse of the Holy Spirit; You who can obtain everything from the
Blessed Trinity: You must beseech on my behalf this grace so
necessary for me, provided that it is not an obstacle to my eternal
salvation (Here repeat the grace you desire). I ask it of You
through your Immaculate Conception, through your divine
Maternity, through your joys, through your sorrows and your
triumphs. I ask it of You through the Heart of your loving Jesus,
through those nine months when You carried Him in your womb,
through His sufferings, through His bitter passion, through His
death on the cross, through His most holy Name, through His most
precious Blood. Finally, I ask it of You through your own sweetest
Heart: in your glorious Name, O Mary, who are the Star of the sea,
the Powerful Lady, the Sea of sorrow, the Gate of Heaven and the
Mother of all graces. In You I trust, in You I hope for everything; You
must save me. Amen.

Hail, Holy Queen

V. Queen of the Holy Rosary, pray for us

R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray :
O God, whose only Begotten Son, by His life, death and
resurrection, has purchased for us the rewards of everlasting life;
grant, we beseech You, that we, who meditate upon these mysteries
of the Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, may imitate
what they contain, and obtain what they promise. We ask this
through Christ our Lord. Amen.

TO ST. DOMINIC AND TO ST. CATHERINE OF SIENA TO

OBTAIN THE GRACES FROM THE BLESSED VIRGIN OF
POMPEII

O holy priest of God and glorious Patriarch Saint Dominic, you who
were the friend, the beloved son and the confidant of our heavenly
Queen, and who worked many miracles through the power of the
Holy Rosary; and you, Saint Catherine of Siena, the first daughter
of this Order of the Rosary and a powerful mediatrix before the
throne of Mary and the Heart of Jesus, with whom you exchanged
hearts: You, my dear holy Saints, look on my needs and take pity
on the state I find myself in. You had, on earth, the heart open to all
miseries of men, and the powerful hand to meet their needs. Now,
in Heaven, neither your charity nor your power have lessened. Pray,
then, on my behalf, to the Mother of the Rosary and to Her Divine
Son, for I have great faith that through you I could obtain the grace
I ardently desire. Amen.

Three Glory be to the Father

 NOVENA OF THANKSGIVING
(Day 28-54)
Put the miraculous image of the Virgin of Pompei on display and, if possible, light
two candles as a symbol of the faith which burns in your heart. Then take the
rosary beads in your hands

+ God, come to my assistance.

Lord, make haste to help me.
Glory be to the Father…

I. – Here I am at your feet, O Immaculate Mother of Jesus, who

delights in being invoked as Queen of the Rosary in the Valley of
Pompei. Rejoicing in my heart, my soul overwhelmed by the most
ardent gratitude, I return to You, my generous Benefactress, my
sweet Lady, the Queen of my heart, to You who have truly shown
Yourself as my Mother, the Mother who so dearly loves me. In my
grieving You heard me, in my afflictions You comforted me, in my
anguish You gave me peace. Sorrows and pains of death were
besieging my heart, and You, O Mother, from your throne of
Pompeii, with your compassionate gaze relieved me. Who has ever
turned to You with confidence and has not been heard? If the whole
world only knew how good You are, how compassionate with those
who suffer, all creatures would turn to you. Be blessed forever, O
Virgin Sovereign of Pompeii, by me and by everyone, by men and by
the Angels, from Heaven and from the earth. Amen.

Glory be to the Father. Hail, Holy Queen

II. – Thanks I give to God and thanks to You, O divine Mother, for
the new favours that, through your compassion and mercy, have
been granted to me. What would have become of me, had you
ignored my groans and my tears? May the Angels of Paradise and
the choirs of Apostles, Martyrs, Virgins and Confessors give thanks
to You on my behalf. May the souls of so many sinners saved by
You, who now enjoy in Heaven the vision of your immortal beauty,
thank You on my behalf. I wish all creatures to join me in loving
You, and the whole world to repeat the echo of my thanks. What
will I render back to You, O Queen, rich in mercy and
magnificence? The rest of my life I dedicate to You, and to propagate
your cult everywhere, O Virgin of the Rosary of Pompeii, through
whose invocation the grace of the Lord has visited me. I will
promote the devotion of your Rosary; I will tell everyone about the
mercy You have obtained for me; I will always proclaim how good
You have been towards me, so that unworthy people, like me, and
sinners may also turn to You with confidence.

Glory be to the Father. Hail, Holy Queen

III. – By what names shall I call You, O pure Dove of peace? Under
what titles shall I invoke You, whom the holy Doctors called Queen
of creation, Gate of life, Temple of God, Palace of light, Glory of the
Heavens, Saint among the Saints, Miracle of miracles, Paradise of
the Almighty? You are the Treasurer of graces, the Omnipotent
pleader, indeed, the very Mercy of God descending upon the
distressed. Yet I know how sweet it is to your Heart to be invoked as
Queen of the Rosary in the Valley of Pompeii. And invoking You in
that way, I feel the sweetness of your mystical Name, O Rose of
Paradise, transplanted in the Valley of tears to soften the worries of
us, the banished children of Eve; red Rose of charity, more fragrant
than all perfumes of Lebanon, who in your Valley, by the fragrance
of your heavenly gentleness, draws the hearts of sinners to the
Heart of God. You are the Rose of everlasting freshness who,
nourished by the streams of heavenly waters, planted your roots in
the soil scorched by a rain of fire; Rose of unblemished beauty, who
in the land of desolation planted the Garden of the Lord's delights.
May God be exalted, who made your name so wondrous. Bless, O
nations, the Name of the Virgin of Pompeii, for all the earth is full of
Her mercy.

Glory be to the Father. Hail, Holy Queen

IV. – Amidst the storms overwhelming me, I raised my eyes to You,

new Star of hope who appeared in our times over the Valley of
ruins. From the depths of my bitterness, I cried aloud to you, O
Queen of the Rosary of Pompeii, and I experienced the power of this
title so dear to You. Hail, I will always cry, hail, O Mother of mercy,
immense sea of grace, ocean of kindness and compassion! Who will
worthily sing the glories of your Rosary, the victories of your
Crown? To the world that is freeing itself from the arms of Jesus to
throw itself into those of Satan, You give salvation in that Valley
where Satan devoured souls. You walked, triumphant, over the
ruins of the Pagan temples, and upon the decay of idolatry You
placed the footstool of your dominion. You transformed a place of
death into a Valley of resurrection and life, and upon the land
dominated by your enemy, You established the Citadel of refuge,
where You welcome all peoples to save them. Behold, your children
scattered throughout the world, raised there a throne to You, as a
witness to your miracles, as a trophy of your mercies. From that
throne, You called me also among the children of your predilection:
upon me, a sinner, your merciful gaze rested. Blessed be your
works eternally, my Lady; and blessed be all the miracles worked by
You in this Valley of desolation and extermination.

Glory be to the Father. Hail, Holy Queen

V. – May every tongue resound with your glory, O Lady, and the
evening pass on to the following day the harmony of our blessings.
May every generation proclaim You blessed, and blessed are You,
repeat all the lands of the earth and the heavenly choirs. I, too, will
call you three times blessed with the Angels, the Archangels and the
Principalities; three times blessed with the angelic Powers, the
Virtues of the heavens and the celestial Dominations. Most Blessed
I will proclaim You with the Thrones, the Cherubims and the
Seraphims. O my Sovereign Rescuer, never stop turning your
merciful gaze on this family, on this nation, on the entire Church.
Especially, do not deny me the greatest of the graces: that my
weakness will never cause me to be separated from You. In this
faith and love burning in my soul at this very moment, let me
persevere until my last breath. And to all of us, who contribute to
the honour of your Shrine in Pompeii, and to the growth of its
charitable works, grant that we be included in the number of the
elect. O Holy Rosary of my Mother, I press you tight to my heart and
kiss you with veneration (Here kiss your rosary beads). You are
the means to obtain every virtue, the treasure of merits for
paradise, the pledge of my predestination, the strong chain binding
the enemy, the source of peace for those who honour you in life, the
promise of victory for those who kiss you at the moment of death. In
that last hour, I await you, O Mother. Your apparition will be the
sign of my salvation; your Rosary will open for me the gates of
Heaven. Amen.

Glory be to the Father. Hail, Holy Queen

V. Queen of the Holy Rosary, pray for us

R. That we may be worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray :

O God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who taught us to turn
to You with confidence and call You: Our Father in heaven; O
gracious Lord, ever merciful and forgiving, through the intercession
of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, hear us who rejoice in being called
children of the Rosary. Accept our humble thanks for the gifts
received, and render the Throne you raised to Her in the Shrine of
Pompeii every day more glorious and everlasting, through the merits
of Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen
THE NOVENA OF PETITION

How to pray the Novenas

The "three Novenas of Pompeii" consist of praying three times the

Novena of Petition, that is for 27 consecutive days, and immediately
after, three times the Novena of Thanksgiving, that is for another 27
consecutive days, whether or not the request has been granted.
This is a 54 days Novena, accompanied by the recitation of the 20
decades of the Rosary each day.

Origin of the Novena of Petition

Having been struck with typhoid fever, in July of 1879, Bartolo
Longo composed the “Novena of Petition” to ask for graces in the
most desperate cases. Every day he went before the Picture of the
Virgin of the Rosary to be inspired and make some amendments to
what he had just written. But one day, because of a serious
worsening of his illness, he thought that the only remedy, was to
bring the Picture of the Virgin from the Chapen o his bedroom.
Turning to Saint Catherine of Siena to intercede in his favour with
Our Lady, he suddenly recovered. Since then, the Heavenly Mother
has been graces to anyone who prays to Her with the Novena
written by Her faithful devotee Man miraculous recoveries took
place all over the world thanks to the recitation of this Novena.
Most of these cases were approved by the Diocesan Bishops with
regular Canonical Processes, and published in the magazine "Il
Rosario e la Nuova Pompeii". In 1894. in Arpino (Frosinone), Saint
Catherine of Siena, represented at the feet of the Virgin in the
Pompeiian Icon, appeared to a dying young girl and invited her to
recite the Novena and pray it together with her. At the end of the
prayer, the young girl was completely cured. The Novena of Petition,
approved by Pope Leo XIII on November 29, 1887, was translated in
several foreign languages (History Novenas and Prayers of Our Lady
of the Rosary of Pompeii, 1925, p. 36-40).
THE NOVENA OF THANKSGIVING

In 1884, Our Lady of Pompeii appeared in Naples to Commendatore

Agrelli's young daughter, Fortunatina. who was very ill, and told
her: "Whenever you wish to obtain graces from me, pray three
Novenas of Petition and recite at the same time the fifteen decades
of my Rosary and soon after, pray three Novenas of Thanksgiving".
Little Fortunatina did exactly according to the indications of the
Virgin and was miraculously cured. Since then, many people have
experienced the reality of that revelation and have obtained
countless graces through this Novena, all published in the
magazine "Il Rosario e la Nuova Pompeii". So, several pious people
began asking Advocate Longo to write also an appropriate prayer to
thank the Virgin, according to Her very desire, to be said
immediately after the Novena of! Petition.

The Novena of Thanksgiving was translated in several foreign

languages (History Novenas and Prayers of Our Lady of the Rosary
of Pompeii, 1925, p. 40-43).
