Prayer of Homage to the Sacred Heart of Jesus01/01/2014
From the depth of my nothingness, I prostrate myself before You, O Most Sacred, Divine and Adorable. Heart of Jesus, to pay to You all the homage of love, praise, and adoration in my power. Amen.
Prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus01/01/2014
Sacred Heart of Jesus: I fly to you, I unite myself with you, I enclose myself to you! Receive my call for help, O my Savior, as a sign of my horror of all within me contrary to your holy love. Let me die rather a thousand times than consent! Be my strength, O God: defend me, protect me. I am yours and desire forever to be yours! O Heart of Love, I put all my trust in you. For I fear all things from my own weakness, but I hope for all things from your goodness.
Prayer of Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus01/01/2014
I (N. – first & last name) 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 for 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 very bondage to Thee.
Prayer of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque01/01/2014
Eternal Father, I offer unto Thee the infinite satisfaction which Jesus rendered to Thy justice in behalf of sinners upon the tree of the Cross; and I pray that Thou wouldst make the merits of His Precious Blood available to all guilty souls to whom sin has brought death; may they rise again to the life of grace and glorify Thee for ever. Eternal Father, I offer Thee the fervent devotion of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in satisfaction for the lukewarmness and cowardice of Thy chosen people, imploring Thee by the burning love which made Him suffer death, that it may please Thee to rekindle their hearts now so lukewarm in Thy service, and to set them on fire with Thy love, that they may love Thee for ever. Eternal Father, I offer Thee the submission of Jesus to Thy will, and I ask of Thee, through His merits, the fullness of all grace and the accomplishment of all Thy holy will. Blessed be God!
