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 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."[4]
In 1987, Henryk Górecki composed a choral piece (Totus TuusOp. 60) to celebrate the Pope's third pilgrimage to his native Poland that summer.[7] While the motet opens with the same words as the apostolic motto, the piece actually uses a poem by Maria Boguslawska for its text.[8]
