Act of Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary:June 16, 2012 - The Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary - (Memorial):
“In 1942, Pope Pius XII consecrated the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary; however, this is not a new devotion. In the seventeenth century, St. John Eudes preached it alongside the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. The Church instituted this feast to encourage the faithful to trust in the Blessed Mother as a source of grace and mercy.” (Daily Roman Missal, MWTF).
This feast is celebrated on the Saturday following the 2nd Sunday after Pentecost.
“I, N …, a faithless sinner, renew and ratify today in thy hands, O Immaculate Mother, the vows of my Baptism; I renounce Satan, his pomps and works; and I give myself entirely to Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Wisdom, to carry my cross after Him all the days of my life, and to be more faithful to Him than I have ever been before.”
“In the presence of all the heavenly court, I choose thee this day, for my Mother and Mistress. I deliver and consecrate to thee, as thy slave, my body and soul, my goods, both interior and exterior, and even the value of all my good actions, past, present and future: leaving to thee the entire and full right of disposing of me, and all that belongs to me, without exception, according to thy good pleasure, for the greater glory of God, in time and in eternity. Amen.”
(This consecration is inspired by the Montfort Consecration.)
(from Our Lady of the Angels Monastery, Mother Angelica of EWTN’s monastery at 5817 Old Leeds Road, Irondale, AL 35210.)

"Sts. Peter and Paul are the principal Pillars of the Church founded by Christ. St. Peter was chosen by Christ to be his first Vicar on earth; he was endowed with the power of the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven and given the role of Shepherd of Christ’s flock. In St. Peter and his successors, the popes, there is a visible sign of unity and communion in faith and charity. Divine grace led St. Peter to profess Christ’s divinity. He suffered martyrdom under Nero about AD 64 and is buried at the hill of the Vatican.
St. Paul was chosen to form part of the College of Apostles by Christ himself after his dramatic conversion on the road to Damascus. Selected to bring Christ’s name to all peoples, he was a great missionary, advocate of pagans, and “Apostle of the Gentiles.” He was beheaded in the Tre Fontane along the Via Ostiense and buried nearby." (Daily Roman Missal, MTF.)

Collect:
“O God, who on the Solemnity of the Apostles Peter and Paul
give us the noble and holy joy of this day,
grant, we pray, that your Church
may in all things follow the teaching
of those through whom she received
the beginnings of right religion.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.”

“O God, who by your ineffable mercy,
have been pleased through the labors
of your priest Blessed Junipero Serra
to count many American peoples within your Church,
