Prayer To The Sacred Heart

Heart of Jesus,
fountain of every blessing,
I adore Thee, I Love Thee,
and with a lively sorrow for
my sins, I offer Thee this poor
heart of mine. Make me humble,
patient, pure and wholly obedient
to Thy will. Grant good Jesus, that
I may live in Thee and for Thee. Protect
me in the midst of danger, comfort me in
my afflictions, give me health of body, assistance
in my temporal needs. Thy blessing on all that I do
and the grace of a holy death. Amen.

Prayer To The Sacred Heart

O God, who in the Heart of Thy Son,
wounded by our sins
did deign mercifully to bestow upon us
the infinite treasures of Thy Love,
grant, we beseech You,
that we who now pay Him
the devout homage of our piety,
may also perform the duty
of worthy satisfaction.
Through the same Jesus Christ,
Our Lord, who lives and reigns
with the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, world without end.
Amen

Prayer To The Sacred Heart

I hail You, O Sacred Heart of Jesus, living
and life-giving Fountain of eternal life,
infinite Treasure of divinity, glowing Furnace
of divine Love; You are my place of rest and my
most sure refuge. My dear saviour, enkindle my
heart with that burning love wherewith Your own
is on fire, pour into my heart the manifold graces
of which Your Heart is the source; let Your Will be
mine, and let mine be forever obedient to Yours. Amen.

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.
