Act of Consecration to the Sacred heart of Jesus
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus,
I consecrate myself to Your Most Sacred Heart. Take possession of my
whole being; transform me into Yourself. Make my hands Your hands, my
feet Your feet, my heart Your heart. Let me see with Your eyes, listen
with Your ears, speak with Your lips, love with Your heart, understand
with Your mind, serve with Your will, and be dedicated with my whole
being. Make me Your other self. Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, send me
Your Holy Spirit to teach me to love You and to live through You, with
You, in You and for You.
Come, Holy Spirit, make my
body Your temple. Come, and abide with me forever. Give me the deepest
love for the Sacred Heart of Jesus in order to serve Him with my whole
heart, soul, mind and strength. Take possession of all my faculties of
body and soul. Regulate all my passions: feelings and emotions. Take
possession of my intellect, understanding and will; my memory and
imagination. O Holy Spirit of Love, give me an abundance of Your
efficacious graces. Give me the fullness of all the virtues; enrich my
faith, strengthen my hope, increase my trust, and inflame my love. Give
me the fullness of Your sevenfold gifts, fruits and beatitudes. Most
Holy Trinity, make my soul Your sanctuary.
Act of Reparation
Sacred
Heart of Jesus, animated with a desire to repair the outrages
unceasingly
offered to Thee, we prostrate before Thy throne of mercy, and in the
name
of all mankind, pledge our love and fidelity to Thee!
The more Thy mysteries are
blasphemed, the more firmly we shall believe them, O Sacred Heart of
Jesus!
The more impiety endeavors
to extinguish our hopes of immortality, the more we shall trust in Thy
Heart, sole hope of mankind!
The more hearts resist Thy Divine
attractions, the more we shall love Thee, O infinitely amiable heart of
Jesus!
The more unbelief attacks Thy
Divinity, the more humbly and profoundly we shall adore It, O Divine
Heart
of Jesus!
The more Thy holy laws are
transgressed
and ignored, the more we shall delight to observe them, O most holy
Heart
of Jesus!
The more Thy Sacraments are
despised
and abandoned, the more frequently we shall receive them with love and
reverence, O most liberal Heart of Jesus!
The more the imitation of Thy
virtues is neglected and forgotten, the more we shall endeavor to
practice
them, O Heart, model of every virtue!
The more the devil labors to
destroy
souls, the more we shall be inflamed with desire to save them, O Heart
of Jesus, zealous Lover of souls!
The more sin and impurity destroy
the image of God in man, the more we shall try by purity of life to be
a living temple of the Holy Spirit, O Heart of Jesus!
The more Thy Holy Church is
despised,
the more we shall endeavor to be her faithful children, O Sweet Heart
of
Jesus!
The more Thy Vicar on earth is
persecuted, the more we will honor him as the infallible head of Thy
Holy
Church, show our fidelity and pray for him, O kingly Heart of Jesus!
O Sacred Heart, through Thy
powerful
grace, may we become Thy apostles in the midst of a corrupted world,
and
be Thy crown in the kingdom of heaven.
Amen.
