The Golden PrayerWelcome, internet pilgrim, to a site dedicated to Christian prayer! In a world of so much disorder, find here an oasis of peace. The mission of this site is to encourage a revolution of holiness among souls through devotion to Jesus Christ and consecration to the Blessed Virgin Mary. In particular, this site wishes to encourage souls who wish to advance in the spiritual and moral life to make use of a daily act of consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. This simple act of consecration, known throughout the world as “The Golden Prayer,” seeks to foster the cultivation of those virtues which were contained so perfectly within Mary’s Immaculate Heart. By becoming better imitators of Mary’s purity, chastity, humility, patience, charity and obedience, we become more perfect disciples of her Son. This website and its contents are therefore offered free of charge to anyone who desires a more intimate experience of God’s love. Please feel free to download any of the videos, audio recordings, images and prayers as often as you wish. You are encouraged to duplicate and distribute them without cost. Priests, consecrated religious and the lay faithful may become cooperators with this spiritual apostolate to advance the Kingdom of God, one soul at a time. “Those who pray do not waste their time, although a situation may seem to call only for action, nor do they seek to change and correct God’s plan. Rather they aim – following the example of Mary and the saints – to draw from God the light and the strength of love that defeats all the darkness and selfishness present in the world.” -From “Deus caritas est” (God is Love), the first Encyclical of Pope Benedict XVI, given on 25 December 2005.

For Those Who Recite This Prayer Daily:
| The entire image and prayer reflect the Virgin Mary's purity, a viture she wants all her children to practice. Since our Mother is the Queen of Purity, every offense committed against this virture hurts her Heart in a cruel and painful way. Souls devoted to her Immaculate Heart should openly state that only the pure of heart shall be close to God. |
| Consecrated souls, in union with all their brothers and sisters throughout the world, will endeavor to see Jesus present in everyone they meet. Their daily life will thus become a continuous act of love for God and neighbor. |
