The prayers we hold in common.

The chaplet of the movement: a series of prayers and meditations asking Our Blessed Mother’s intercession for protection, hope, healing and guidance. It is the prayer the movement holds in common.

The full booklet is available as a printable PDF.

Nine days of prayer under the protection of the Immaculate Heart — the novena of the movement.

The complete nine-day text is being prepared for publication here.

Begin with the Sign of the Cross and the Apostles’ Creed. Then the Our Father, three Hail Marys, and the Glory Be. Announce the first mystery, pray one Our Father, ten Hail Marys and a Glory Be, and continue through the five mysteries of the day.

The Hail Mary Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

The Fatima prayer, after each decade O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, and lead all souls to Heaven, especially those in most need of Thy mercy. Amen.

Hail, Holy Queen — at the close Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. Amen.

The preparation for total consecration to Jesus through Mary, in the form given by St. Louis de Montfort. Thirty-three days of daily prayer and examination, ending with the Act of Consecration on a Marian feast.

Mary’s Armor holds the 33-day consecration retreat on its online platform and in person in dioceses and parishes, and welcomes new members into it on an ongoing basis.

Prayed in the nine days before the Feast of the Immaculate Heart, or at any time of particular need. Each day: the invocation below, one decade of the Rosary, and the day’s intention.

Daily invocation O most blessed Mother, heart of love, heart of mercy, ever listening, caring, consoling: hear our prayer. As your children, we implore your intercession with Jesus your Son. Receive with understanding and compassion the petitions we place before you today. We are comforted in knowing your heart is ever open to those who ask for your prayer. We trust to your gentle care and intercession those whom we love. Amen.

The devotion of reparation to the Immaculate Heart, kept by the movement on the first Saturday of five consecutive months. On each of those Saturdays a member:

1. Goes to confession (within eight days before or after);
2. Receives Holy Communion;
3. Prays five decades of the Rosary;
4. Keeps company with Our Lady for fifteen minutes, meditating on the mysteries;

— all with the intention of making reparation to her Immaculate Heart.

Sub tuum praesidium — the oldest Marian prayer We fly to thy protection, O holy Mother of God. Despise not our petitions in our necessities, but deliver us always from all dangers, O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen.

The prayer by which a member gives themselves entirely to Jesus through Mary, made once at the end of the 33 days and renewed each year with the whole movement.

A traditional act of consecration to Our Lady My Queen and my Mother, I give myself entirely to thee; and to show my devotion to thee, I consecrate to thee this day my eyes, my ears, my mouth, my heart, my whole being without reserve. Wherefore, good Mother, as I am thine own, keep me, guard me, as thy property and possession. Amen.

For moments of urgent need, when there is no time for anything longer.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
