Act of Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Act of Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Most sweet Jesus, redeemer of the human race
look down upon us humbly prostrate before your altar.
We are yours and yours we wish to be
but to be more surely united with you behold each one of us
freely consecrates himself today to your most Sacred Heart.
Many indeed have never known you,
many too, despising your precepts have rejected you.
Have mercy on them all, most merciful Jesus,
and draw them to your Sacred Heart.
Be you king, O Lord, not only of the faithful
who have never forsaken you but also
of the prodigal children who have abandoned you.
Grant that they may quickly return to their Father's house
lest they die of wretchedness and hunger.
Be you King of those who are deceived
by erroneous opinions or whom discord keeps aloof
and call them back to the harbor of truth
and the unity of faith
so that soon there may be but one flock and one shepherd.
Grant O Lord, to your Church assurance
of freedom and immunity from harm.
Give peace and order to all nations and
make the earth resound from pole to pole with one cry:
Praise to the Divine Heart that wrought our salvation;
to it be glory and honor forever. Amen.

JESUS, I TRUST and LOVE YOU!
