consagraremos

Consagraremos is the first-person plural future indicative form of the Spanish verb consagrar. It denotes an action that will consecrate, dedicate, or devote something or someone to a sacred purpose, a chosen end, or a formal commitment. The precise sense depends on context, ranging from religious ritual to secular dedication.

Etymology and sense: Consagrar comes from Latin consecrare, from con- “together” and sacrare “to make sacred” (from sacrum, sacred). Over time, its meaning broadened from making something sacred to dedicating a person, place, or effort to a sacred or eminent purpose, or to a vow of commitment.

Usage and contexts: In religious contexts, consagrar is used to sanctify objects, places, or persons, or as part of liturgical acts; in Catholic practice, it may refer to the consecration of a church, altar, or sacred items. In secular language, it can mean to devote time, life, or resources to a cause, project, or profession (for example, consagrar la vida a una vocación, o consagrar esfuerzos a un proyecto). The form consagraremos appears in statements about future acts of dedication or binding commitment, and it can occur in solemn or formal discourse; the reflexive form consagrarse is used to indicate personal dedication.
