Marcos' Marian prayer: Can it keep war away?

Second of three parts

Our Lady of Guadalupe, Mother of the true God, our merciful Mother, we, thy children, come today in an act of filial homage, of faith, love and trust, to consecrate our nation, the Philippines, to thy Immaculate Heart. Take it from our fragile hands into thine own, defend it and guard it as thy own property. Make our Lord Jesus reign, conquer and rule in it as King, for outside of Him, there is no salvation.
