Hail, Holy Mary, Mother of Our Lord Jesus Christ,
Mother of all nations and all people.
You are the special heavenly Mother of the Chinese people.

Teach us, your way of total obedience to God's will.
Help us to live our lives true to our faith.
Fill our hearts with burning love for God and each other.
Stir up in our youth, an unconditional
giving of self to the service of God.

We call on your powerful intercession for peace,
reconciliation and unity among the believers
and conversion of the unbelievers in China
and throughout the world,
for God's mercy is our only hope.

Our Lady of China, Mother of Jesus,
hear our petitions and pray for us.

Amen.

Prayer of Consecration of The Holy Name of Jesus.

O Immaculate Heart of Mary, Queen of Heaven and Earth,
Our Lady of China and tender Mother of men,
in accordance with your ardent wish made known at Fatima,
I consecrate to your Immaculate Heart
the Holy Name of Jesus Chinese Catholic Mission:
our church and our community.

Reign over us, Most Holy Mother of God,
and teach us how to make the Heart of your Son,
Our Lord Jesus Christ reign and triumph in us
even as It has reigned and triumphed in you.

Reign over us, Most Blessed Virgin,
that we may be yours in prosperity and in adversity,
in joy and in sorrow, in health and in sickness,
in life and in death.

O most compassionate Heart of Mary, Queen of Heaven,
watch over our minds and hearts
and preserve them from the impurity
which you did lament so sorrowfully at Fatima.
Assist us in imitating you in all things,
especially in the virtue of purity.
Help us to call down upon our country
and upon the whole world
the peace of God in justice and charity.

Therefore, Most Gracious Virgin and Mother,
I hereby promise to imitate your virtues
by the practice of a true Christian life.
I resolve to receive Holy Communion regularly
and to offer to you five decades of the Rosary each day,
together with my sacrifices,
in the spirit of reparation and penance.

Amen.
