Here it is: "We have recourse to your protection, holy Mother of God...Embrace, with the love of the Mother and Handmaid, this human world of ours, which we entrust and consecrate to you...In entrusting to you, O Mother the world, all individuals and peoples, we also entrust to you the consecration itself, for the world's sake, placing it in your motherly Heart. Oh, Immaculate Heart! Help us to conquer the menace of evil...Accept, O Mother of Christ, this cry...Let there be revealed, once more, in the history of the world your infinite power of merciful Love. May it put a stop to evil. May it transform consciences. May your Immaculate Heart reveal for all the light of Hope." - Pope John Paul II, LOsservatore Romano, May 24, 1982, pp. 5,12.

Read THAT a couple of times and feel the love...but NOT the worship. NEVER the worship...

I gave you the wrong quotes. HERE is what I was looking for: WHen ordained Auxiliary Bishop of Krakow in 1958, John Paul had chosen as his episcopal coat of arms a cross with the initial "M" in honor of Mary at the foot of it. He adopted as his motto Totus Tuus", meaning, with reference to Mary: "Totally yours." -(Arthur Burton Calkins, TOtus Tuus [Libertyville, IL: Academy of the Immaculate, 1992], p.27.
