SOLEMNITY OF THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS

 

PRAYER OF CONSECRATION TO THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS

I, (name), give myself

to the Sacred Heart of our Lord Jesus Christ,

and I consecrate to Him

my person and my life,

my actions, pains, and sufferings,

so that henceforth I shall be unwilling

to make use of any part of my being

except for the honour, love, and glory

of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

My unchanging purpose is to be all His

and to do all things for the love of Him

while renouncing with all my heart

whatever is displeasing to Him.

I take You,

O Sacred Heart of Jesus,

as the only object of my love,

the guardian of my life,

the assurance of my salvation,

the remedy of my weakness and inconstancy,

the atonement for all my faults,

and the sure refuge at my death.

O Heart of goodness,

be my justification before God the Father,

and turn away from me

the strokes of His righteous anger.

O Heart of love,

I place all my trust in You,

for I fear everything

from my own wickedness and frailty,

but I hope for all things

from Your goodness and bounty.

Consume in me all that can displease You

or resist Your holy Will.

Let Your pure love imprint You

so deeply upon my heart

that I shall nevermore be able to forget You

or be separated from You.

May I obtain from all Your lovingkindness

the grace of having my name written in You,

for I desire to place in You

all my happiness and all my glory,

living and dying in virtual bondage to You.

Amen.

(St Margaret Mary Alacoque)
