The Administrative Committee of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), at its March 13-14 meeting in Washington, called for a nationwide prayer campaign for protection of religious freedom and conscience rights from several threats, including the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services mandate that forces employers, including religious ones, to provide contraception/sterilization in their health plans.
"We call upon the Catholic faithful, and all people of faith, throughout our country to join us in prayer and penance for our leaders and for the restoration of our First Freedom-religious liberty-which is not only protected in the laws and customs of our great Nation, but rooted in the teachings of our great Tradition," the bishops said in "United for Religious Freedom" a March 14 statement. "Prayer is the ultimate source of our strength-for without God, we can do nothing; but with God, all things are possible."
The following prayers may be used in solidarity with the bishops' call to penance and prayer to restore religious freedom & conscience protections.
Prayer for the Protection of Religious Liberty

Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary
ACT OF CONSECRATION TO THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY
(with ecclesiastical permission)
O Mary,
I consecrate myself to you,
Daughter of the Father,
Spouse of the Holy Spirit,
Mother of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus.
I will wear your Scapular always as a sign of this consecration,
and I offer my daily Rosary and the
fulfillment of the obligations of each day
in reparation for sins,
particularly those against your Immaculate Heart,
and against the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus.
I desire to be ever more deeply united to His Heart,
in the intimacy of your own
Immaculate Heart, with each passing
moment of my life unto the last. Amen

I PLEDGE MYSELF TO OUR LADY AND WISH THEREBY TO JOIN THE WORLD APOSTOLATE OF FATIMA
Dear Queen and Mother, who promised at Fatima to convert Russia and bring peace to all mankind, in reparation for my sins and the sins of the whole world, I solemnly promise to Your Immaculate Heart:
1. To offer up everyday the sacrifices demanded by my daily duty.
2. To pray at least five decades of the Rosary daily while meditating on the Mysteries.
3. To wear the Scapular of Mount Carmel as profession of this promise and as an act of consecration to you.
4. To accomplish the devotion of the Five First Saturdays of the month, including the fifteen minute meditation on the Mysteries of the Rosary.
I shall renew this promise often, especially in moments of temptation.
Note: This pledge is not a vow and does not bind under sin. Nevertheless it is a promise; your word to your Heavenly Mother.
Morning Offering
O my God, in union with the Immaculate Heart of Mary (here kiss your scapular as a sign of your consecration), I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Jesus, present in all the tabernacles of the world, joining with It the offering of my every thought, word and action of this day. O my Jesus, I desire today to gain every indulgence and merit I can and I offer them, together with myself, to Mary Immaculate, that she may best apply them to the interests of Thy most Sacred Heart. Precious Blood of Jesus, save us! Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us! Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!
With Authorization and Permission Granted in Jan. 2009
