**A WORD FROM THE USA DISTRICT SUPERIOR **

Dear Faithful,

With the end of the Rosary Crusade approaching, I wish to have the United States District consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Although this consecration had been done in the past, I believe that this would be a good opportunity to use the zeal impelled by the Crusade as an occasion to renew the consecration in a more public way. I am certain that it would be a source of many graces of conversion and of sanctification for our souls, the souls of our faithful, and the entire nation.

In the Immaculate Heart of Mary,

Fr. Arnaud Rostand

**PRAYER OF ST. PIUS X
TO THE IMMACULATE VIRGIN MARY **

O MOST HOLY VIRGIN who didst find favor in
God’s sight and hast become His Mother; O Virgin,
immaculate in body and soul, in thy faith and in thy love,
look down with pity on the wretched who in our need
seek thy powerful protection.

The evil serpent on whom was cast the primal curse
continues, alas, to attack and ensnare the poor children
of Eve. But thou, our Blessed Mother, our Queen and
our Advocate, thou who from the first instant of thy
conception didst crush the head of this cruel enemy,
receive our prayers. United to thee with one heart, we
beseech thee to present them before the throne of God.
May we never be caught in the snares around us, but
rather may we all reach the harbor of salvation. Despite
the awesome perils which threaten, may God’s Church
and all Christian society sing out once again the hymn of
deliverance, of victory and of peace. Amen.

**Prayer for the CONSECRATION of the
United States of America District of the
Society of Saint Pius X to the
IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY **

March 21, 2010

TO Thee, O Immaculate Mother of God,
do we have recourse in this supreme hour of
mankind’s need, amidst such storms indeed as have
never been known, shaking Mother Church to Her
very foundations. Thou, who standing by the foot of
the Cross, didst once share so closely in the sufferings
of thy Divine Son with what compassion art thou not
moved today for the suffering of His Mystical Body,
the Church!

Whilst outside the Church, Communism has
so spread its errors in all directions that the Church
Herself is infected by them; at the same time within
her very bosom the virus of a false ecumenism poisons
souls without number, either tearing them away or
keeping them outside of the unity of the true Faith
and the one and only Ark of Salvation.

Amidst so many ruins and so many betrayals,
may it please Almighty God, following an ancient
example, to prepare this priestly society of ours, a small
band of rebuilders, who, being truly aware of our own
frailty, turn to Thee today, O Virgin most Powerful,
Help of Christians. Recognizing that our own strength
is so little compared to the magnitude of the task
entrusted to us, we wish to place ourselves under thy
motherly and powerful protection, O Virgin who are
terrible as an army in battle array, and to whom it was
promised from the beginning, that thou wouldst tread
upon the head of the serpent. Amidst these dangers
hanging over our heads, we beseech God, Who has
deigned to call us to the service of His Church, that
He vouchsafe to seal and confirm our calling through
Thee, O Ark of the Covenant.

Therefore, O Virgin Immaculate, before thy
throne of grace, we prostrate ourselves today, desiring
to increase thy praise and glory. And to the filial love
which Christ thy Son has for Thee, we may add our
humble contribution, here and now beneath the
most special title of thy Sorrowful and Immaculate
Heart, we irrevocably consecrate our United States of
America District of the Society of St. Pius X, with its
priests, seminarians and brothers, sisters, oblates and
tertiaries, and all its spiritual family.

In order that thou shouldst be now the
Lady and Queen of our District by a perpetual
donation into thy hands, we offer and entrust our
bodies and our souls, our possessions and our homes,
our priories and schools, our churches and missions,
that they may truly belong to Thee, that thou mayest
ever have us ready at thy command.

We hand over and consecrate also the souls
entrusted to us, especially our families and our
students, that thou mayest guard them beneath
thy mother care; finally, we commend to thee our
apostolate with all our projects, and we relinquish it
that it may be wholly thine, O Queen of Apostles!
Thus, our District is now wholly thy domain!
Hold it so firmly, O Tower of David, that
it may never turn from the right path. O Virgin
most Faithful, keep every member most unshakably
attached to it. Guard our Faith virginally intact, O
Virgin most Pure, thou who has received the power
to crush all heresies throughout the entire world.

Keep for the Church, O thou who art Full of Grace,
Her Sacrifice of the Mass according to the ancient and
venerable Roman Rite; and keep us most faithful to
this sure conveyor of grace. Cause to flourish within us,
O Queen of all Saints, the holiness of the priesthood,
of religion, of the family. Guard, O Mother of Divine
Grace, our District as a fruitful and ever-living branch
of the Holy Roman Catholic Church. Obtain for us the
grace, O Mother of the Church, whereby we may from
day to day become in the hands of God, instruments
more docile and more apt for the saving of the greatest
number of souls.

That we may know that thou hast heard our
prayers, O Virgin most Clement, send us those
many workers whom the Divine Lord of the Harvest
calls into His mission fields. Grant to us finally,
O Mother of the Sovereign High Priest, the grace
by which we may work for the restoration of the
Catholic priesthood, and thereby for the splendor of
the priestly soul of Christ, illuminated by Whose rays,
may the persons and families of our nation at length
obtain the establishing of His kingdom.

Relying on our title of the Apostles of Jesus
and Mary, we promise Thee, O Queen of Martyrs
and Confessors, that we shall labour until our last
breath for the restoring of all things in Christ, for
the spreading of His Kingdom, and to prepare for the
glorious triumph of thy Sorrowful and Immaculate
Heart, O Mary. Amen.

This prayer is an adaptation of the original text written for the Consecration of the
Society of St. Pius X to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, as recited by Archbishop
Lefebvre and all the members of the Society on December 8, 1984. By this act we
renew the District’s consecration originally performed on March 13, 2002.

This novena will take place from March 12–20 in preparation for the SSPX’s USA District’s
Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on Sunday, March 21, 2010.
