Consecrate a child to the Our Lady of Oropa
O Blessed Virgin of Oropa, turn your maternal gaze on this fragile creature, which now emerges from the waters of baptism, regenerated to spiritual life.
His soul has become a daughter of God and an heir to heaven; but remember that at the same time it has also become your daughter. Now Jesus repeats to you as he did then: "Mother, here is your son!"
Or Virgin Immaculate, we entrust to you this your child confident; who better than You could take care of it? We put it with faith in your arms of Mother and we ask you to hold it on your heart.
Dear heavenly Mother, today we consecrate (say the name of the son) to you: protect it, guard it and welcome it under your protection; defend it as something and property.
Fulfill towards him, O most sweet Virgin, your mission of Mother, so that, under your attentive gaze, it may grow healthy and holy and can reach you one day in the glory of Heaven.
So be it.
Hello Queen.
