| Act of Consecration to the Sacred Heart | |
|
|
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, to Thee I consecrate and offer up my person and my life, my actions, trials, and sufferings, that my entire being may henceforth only be employed in loving, honoring and glorifying Thee. This is my irrevocable will, to belong entirely to Thee, and to do all for Thy love, renouncing with my whole heart all that can displease Thee. I take Thee, O Sacred
Heart, for the sole object of my love, the protection of my life, the
pledge of my salvation, the remedy of my frailty and insconstancy, the
reparation for all the defects of my life, and my secure refuge at the
hour of my death. Be Thou, O Most Merciful Heart, my justification
before God Thy Father, and screen me from His anger which I have so
justly merited. I fear all from my own weakness and malice, but placing
my entire confidence in Thee, O Heart of Love, I hope all from Thine
infinite Goodness. Annihilate in me all that can displease or resist
Thee. Imprint Thy pure love so deeply in my heart that I may never
forget Thee or be separated from Thee. Amen. -- St. Margaret Mary
Alacoque |
