Any mother who feels the call to become a member of this movement may do so by observing the following:
Making the “Consecration to the Mother of God”
Following the basic tenets of the movement as announced by our Lord on the feast of the Annunciation.
Observing the major requests in the heart of the movement as written by Mariamante
Consecration to Mary, the Mother of God
“O Exalted Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, Mother of Our Lord Jesus Christ, I consecrate myself to thee this day and humbly ask thee to take me under thy constant care and protection as thy devoted child.
O tender Mother of Our Redeemer, fill me with thy love for your beloved Son and make me into a likeness of Him and thyself. Fashion my heart after thy Heart. Make it tender, pure, gentle, and kind. Give me great reverence for life, and devotion to duty.
O Spouse of the Holy Spirit, fill me with thy virtues that by the power of the Holy Spirit I may become a true spouse of Jesus Christ.
O Star of the Sea, guiding light, ever guide me into a deeper union with Jesus that I may glorify Him in time and eternity for the greater glory of the Most Holy Trinity, now and forever, Amen.
St. Joseph, pray for us.
All ye Holy Angels and Saints, pray for us.

basic tenets of the Apostolate
from The Apostolate of Holy Motherhood
It is to be named after My Mother, the Queen of Heaven and Earth, the Mother of God, and will be called the Apostolate of Holy Motherhood in Catholic Families. This Apostolate will be approved by the Holy Father and will be promulgated amongst the families of My Church in the four corners of the earth. It will do great good and help much in stemming the tide of evil ravaging so many families today.
There will be three basic tenets, that they, the members, must follow:
They must devote all their time, energy, and resources, including their very selves to the greater glory of God and the pursuit of the Divine Will in their lives;
(they) must be consecrated to My Most Holy Mother under the title ‘Mother of God’;
(they) must seek to fulfill their daily duties, that is, as mothers and wives in an exemplary manner of holiness by pursuing the contemplative life in their homes.
