Clerical Association Prayers
Act of Consecration to Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace, my Queen and my Mother, I consecrate myself and recommend those I pray for to your Immaculate Heart. I devote all that I am and all that I have to you. Oh, sweet Mother, protect us against all evil and direct us according to the will of your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
Prayer of Reparation
Heavenly Father in the Name of Jesus, I offer up all my prayers and sufferings in union with the merits of Jesus' Passion and Death for the reparation of sin, conversion of sinners, the intentions of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and my own intentions. Amen
Prayer of Deliverance
Heavenly Father, in the Name of Jesus, rebuke Satan and all the other evil spirits, who surround me and those I pray for. Bind and send them, without causing any harm to anyone, to the feet of our Blessed Mother; and ask her to crush them under her feet. Amen.
Prayer to Put on the Armor of God
Heavenly Father, in the Name of Jesus, I ask you to put on me and those I pray for: the helmet of salvation, which is hope; the breastplate of integrity and justice, which is love; the two-edged sword, which is the Word of God; the shield of faith; the belt of honesty; the skirt of purity; and shoes to spread the Gospel of peace. Amen.
