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)

BL. LUKE KIRBY, PRIEST AND MARTYR - 30 MAY

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN MAY Saints celebrated on the 30th of May WELCOME! BLESSED LUKE KIRBY, PRIEST AND MARTYR 16th century houses, painted by Auguste Mayer He was born in the bishopric of Durham, according to Raissius ; others say at Richmond, in Yorkshire. He was master of arts in one of our universities; but going abroad to Douay, in Flanders, was received into the English college there, 1576, and made priest in 1577; and the year following sent upon the mission. Where he had not been long before he again went abroad, and travelled to Rome, partly for devotion, and partly for further improvement in learning. Here he remained in the English college till 1580, when he returned into England, and was not long after apprehended: for I find by a printed diary of things transacted in the Tower of London from 1580 till 1585, that on the 5th of December, 1580, Luke Kirby, Thomas Cottam , and other priests, were brought to the Tower from other prisons; and that these two, on the 10th...

BL. RICHARD NEWPORT, PRIEST AND MARTYR - 30 MAY

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN MAY Saints celebrated on the 30th of May WELCOME! BLESSED RICHARD NEWPORT, PRIEST AND MARTYR Richard Newport, alias Smith , was born in Northamptonshire and performed his studies abroad, partly in the college of Rheims (if he be the Richard Smith whom I find in the Douay diary sent to Rome in 1586) and partly in that of Rome, where he was made priest. From thence he was sent upon the English mission, and behaved himself in such a manner as justly to acquire the character of a laborious missionary; being withal remarkably successful in bringing home many strayed sheep to the fold of Christ, to which his apostolical way of living did not a little contribute.  He was several times apprehended and cast into prison, and twice banished. His name occurs amongst those who were transported in 1606; at which time, we are told, he took that opportunity of making a pilgrimage to Rome, there to pour forth his prayers at the tombs of the apostles, in behalf of thi...
