Consecration To The Sacred Heart Of Jesus.

An Act of Consecration to the Sacred Heart

I, N...., give myself and consecrate to the Sacred Heart of Our Lord
Jesus Christ my person and my life, my actions, pains, and
sufferings, so that I may be unwilling to make use of any part of
my being save to honor, love, and glorify, the Sacred Heart.

This is my unchanging purpose, namely, to be all His, and to do all
things for the love of Him, at the same time renouncing with all my
heart whatever is displeasing to Him.

I therefore take thee, O Sacred Heart, to be the only object of my
love, the guardian of my life, my assurance of salvation, the remedy of my weakness and
inconstancy, the atonement for all the faults of my life and my sure refuge at the hour of
death.

Be then, O Heart of goodness, my justification before God Thy Father, and turn away
from me the strokes of His righteous anger. O Heart of Love, I put all my confidence in
Thee, for I fear everything from my own wickedness and frailty; but I hope all things
from Thy goodness and bounty.

Do thou consume in me all that can displease Thee or resist Thy holy will. Let Thy pure
love imprint Thee so deeply upon my heart that I shall nevermore be able to forget Thee
or to be separated from Thee. May I obtain from all Thy loving kindness the grace of
having my name written in Thee, for in Thee I desire to place all my happiness and all my
glory, living and dying in true bondage to Thee.
