An Act of Consecration to The Sacred Heart of Jesus

By Saint Margaret Mary
Alacoque

I 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 other than 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 You, 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 the Father,
and turn away from me the strokes of
his righteous anger. O Heart of love, I
put all my confidence in You, for I
fear everything from my own
wickedness and frailty, but I hope for
all things from Your goodness and
bounty.

Remove from me all that can displease
You or resist Your holy will; let your
pure love imprint Your image so
deeply upon my heart, that I shall
never be able to forget You or to be
separated from You.

May I obtain from all Your loving
kindness the grace of having my name
written in Your Heart, for in You I
desire to place all my happiness and
glory, living and dying in bondage to
You.

Amen.
