Totus Tuus was Pope John Paul II's apostolic motto. It is a Latin phrase meaning "totally thine" and expressed his personal Consecration to Mary based on the spiritual approach of Saint Louis de Montfort and the Mariology in his works.〔Pope John Paul II's Apostolic Letter ''( Rosarium Virginis Mariae )''〕 The pontiff explained the meaning further in his book Crossing the Threshold of Hope where he defines it as not only an expression of piety but also of devotion that is deeply rooted in the Mystery of the Blessed Trinity.〔(Holy See Press Office - Totus Tuus )〕 ==Description== According to his Apostolic Letter ''Rosarium Virginis Mariae'' he borrowed the motto from the Marian consecrating prayer found in the book ''True Devotion to Mary'' by Saint Louis de Montfort.〔Saint Louis de Montfort, Treatise on True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin, 266〕 The complete text of the prayer in Latin is: :"Totus tuus ego sum, et omnia mea tua sunt. Accipio te in mea omnia. Praebe mihi cor tuum, Maria." ("I belong entirely to you, and all that I have is yours. I take you for my all. O Mary, give me your heart") Pope John Paul II once recalled how as a young seminarian he "read and reread many times and with great spiritual profit" some writings of Saint Louis de Montfort and that: :''"Then I understood that I could not exclude the Lord's Mother from my life without neglecting the will of God-Trinity"''〔(Pope Reveals Mary's Role In His Life )〕 In 1987, Henryk Górecki composed a choral piece ''(Totus Tuus Op. 60)'' to celebrate Pope John Paul II's third pilgrimage to his native Poland that summer.〔"(Totus tuus, Op.60 )". classicalarchives.com. Retrieved on 21 February 2009.〕 While the motet opens with the same words as the apostolic motto, the piece actually uses a poem by Maria Boguslawska for its text. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Totus Tuus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
