If it literally means dedicating oneself "entirely" to Mary without limit and without acknowledgment that Mary is a handmaid of the Lord Whom we both serve, this would, on the face of it, be "totalizing" or "divinizing" Mary.
I'm with you here. I don't feel obliged to defend this. I would view it with alarm and disapproval if somebody who prayed this way lacked a Catholic, Christ-centric understanding.
There are those who thus abuse Marian devotion. The Mariavites (excommunicated in 1906) come to mind.
However, the classic, Church-approved Morning Offerings are quite different from what you sent me. An old one that many of us learned as children goes like this:
Most Holy and Adorable Trinity,
one God in three Persons,
I firmly believe that You are here present;
I adore You with the most profound humility;
I praise You and give You thanks with all my heart
for the favors You have bestowed on me.
Your Goodness has brought me safely
to the beginning of this day.
Behold, O Lord, I offer You my whole being
and in particular all my thoughts, words and actions,
together with such crosses and contradictions
as I may meet with in the course of this day.
Give me, O Lord, Your blessing;
may Your divine Love animate me
and may both my joys and my sufferings tend
to the greater honor and glory of Your Sovereign Majesty.
Amen.
Here's Morning Offerings for every day of the week: note that they are all directed to God! http://www.catholicity.com/prayer/morning-offerings.html
Don't be distracted by the dubious stuff you pick up while hauling your dragnet through the Internet. The Church could be described in these terms:
Matthew 13:4-48 "The Kingdom of Heaven is like a dragnet which was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind,
which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
Prayer of Pope Pius XII
Enraptured by the splendor of your heavenly beauty, and impelled by the anxieties of the world, we cast ourselves into your arms, O Immaculate Mother of Jesus and our Mother, Mary, confident of finding in your most loving heart appeasement of our ardent desires, and a safe harbor from the tempests which beset us on every side.
Though degraded by our faults and overwhelmed by infinite misery, we admire and praise the peerless richness of sublime gifts with which God has filled you, above every other mere creature, from the first moment of your conception until the day on which, after your assumption into heaven, He crowned you Queen of the Universe.
O crystal fountain of faith, bathe our minds with the eternal truths! O fragrant Lily of all holiness, captivate our hearts with your heavenly perfume! O Conqueress of evil and death, inspire in us a deep horror of sin, which makes the soul detestable to God and a slave of hell!
O well-beloved of God, hear the ardent cry which rises up from every heart. Bend tenderly over our aching wounds. Convert the wicked, dry the tears of the afflicted and oppressed, comfort the poor and humble, quench hatreds, sweeten harshness, safeguard the flower of purity in youth, protect the holy Church, make all men feel the attraction of Christian goodness. In your name, resounding harmoniously in heaven, may they recognize that they are brothers, and that the nations are members of one family, upon which may there shine forth the sun of a universal and sincere peace.
Receive, O most sweet Mother, our humble supplications, and above all obtain for us that, one day, happy with you, we may repeat before your throne that hymn which today is sung on earth around your altars: You are all-beautiful, O Mary! You are the glory, you are the joy, you are the honor of our people! Amen. [http://catholicism.about.com/od/tothevirginmary/qt/Honor_Immacula.htm]
What belongs to God alone is given to Mary.
Most Blessed Virgin Mary, Immaculate Queen and Mother, the refuge and consolation of all troubled souls! I kneel here before thee with my family and choose thee for my Lady, Mother, and Advocate with God.
I dedicate myself and all who belong to me to thy service forever. I beg thee, O Mother of God, to receive us into the company of thy servants. Take us under thy protection. Help us in life and at the hour of our death.
Mother of Mercy, I name thee Lady and Queen of my family and relatives, my interests and all my undertakings. Take charge of them; dispose of everything as it pleases thee.
Bless me and all my family. Never let any of us offend thy Son. In every temptation defend us; protect us in every danger; provide for us in the necessities of life; counsel us in doubt; comfort us in every sorrow, in every sickness, and especially in the final sorrow of death.
Never let the powers of Hell boast that they have enslaved any of those who here consecrate themselves to thee. Grant that we may all enter into Heaven to thank thee and, in thy company, to praise and love Jesus our Redeemer for all eternity.
Amen. Thus, may it be. Amen. [http://www.catholicdoors.com/prayers/english3/p02357.htm]
Dedication of England to Mother of God
O Immaculate Virgin Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ, Mother of Grace, and Queen of the kingdom of thy Son, humbly kneeling before thee, we offer thee this country in which we live. It once was thine. O Immaculate Virgin Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ, Mother of Grace, and Queen of the kingdom of thy Son, humbly kneeling before thee, we offer thee this country in which we live. It once was thine.
Before it was robbed of the holy Faith all its children were thy children, and thou wast honoured throughout its length and breadth as its Protectress and its Queen. Again do we consecrate it to thee; again do we dedicate it as thine own Dowry. We offer our own hearts, that their love and service may ever grow and increase. We offer all our brethren those multitudes who know thee so little or know thee not at all. [http://www.catholic.org/prayers/prayer.php?p=606]
Consecration to Mary [a href=http://www.catholic.org/prayers/prayer.php?p=441> Catholic Online.]
My Queen and my Mother, I give myself entirely to you; and to show my devotion to you, I consecrate to you this day my eyes, my ears, my mouth, my heart, my whole being without reserve. Wherefore, good Mother, as I am your own, keep me, guard me, as your property and possession. Amen.
Mary is the goddess of Catholics.
But it's good if you (all) partially dedicate yourselves to and partially serve Mary...And you are partially 'divinizing' Mary??? I don't think that's what God had in mind...
Isa 42:8 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
Isa 48:11 For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another.
1Co_4:6 And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.
