Prayers to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

A Solemn 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.

Act of Reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

O most amiable and adorable heart of Jesus! Center of all hearts, glowing with charity, and inflamed with zeal for the interest of thy Father, and the salvation of mankind! O heart ever sensible of our misery, and ever in motion to redress our evils, the real victim of love in the Holy Eucharist, and propitiatory sacrifice for sin on the altar of the cross! seeing that the generality of Christians make no other return for these thy mercies than contempt of thy favors, forgetfulness of their own obligation, and ingratitude to the best of benefactors; is it not just that we your servants, penetrated with the deepest sense of the like indignities, should enter upon a due and satisfactory reparation of honor to thy most sacred majesty? Prostrate in body and humbled in mind, before heaven and earth, we solemnly declare our utter detestation and abhorrence of such conduct. Inexpressible, we know, was the bitterness, which the multitude of our sins brought on thy tender heart; insufferable the weight of our iniquities which pressed thy face to the earth in the Garden of Olives, and unsurmountable your anguish, when expiring with love, grief, and agony on Mount Calvary, in your last breath, you would reclaim sinners to their duty and repentance. This we know, O dear Redeemer! and would most willingly redress these your sufferings by our own, or share with thee in thine.

O merciful Jesus! Ever present on our altars, and with a heart open to receive all, who labor and are burdened! O adorable Heart of Jesus, source of true contrition! Impart to our hearts the true spirit of penance, and to our eyes a fountain of tears, that we may bewail and wash off our sins and those of the world. Pardon, divine Jesus, all the injuries, reproaches, and outrages done to you through the course of your holy life and bitter passion. Pardon all the impieties, irreverences, and sacrileges, which have been committed against you in the sacrament of the Eucharist from its first institution. Graciously receive the small tribute of our sincere repentance as an agreeable offering in your sight, and in requital for the benefits we daily receive from the altar, where you are a living and continual sacrifice, and in union of that bloody holocaust you presented to your eternal Father on mount Calvary from the cross.

Sweet Jesus! Give your blessing to the ardent desire we now entertain and the holy resolution we have taken, of ever loving and adoring you after a proper manner in the sacrament of love, the Eucharist, to repair by a true conversion of heart and a becoming zeal for your glory, our past negligence and infidelity. O adorable Heart who knows the clay of which we are formed, be our mediator with thy heavenly Father, whom we have so grievously offended; strengthen our weakness, confirm our resolution, and with your charity, humility, meekness, and patience, cover the multitude of our iniquities; be our support, our refuge, and our strength, that nothing else in life or death may separate us from thee. 

Amen

The Magnificat

My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit rejoices in God my Savior. For he has looked with favor on his lowly servant. From this day all generations will call me blessed: the Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his Name. He has mercy on those who fear him in every generation. He has shown the strength of his arm, he has scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. He has come to the help of his servant Israel for he remembered his promise of mercy, the promise he made to our fathers, to Abraham and his children forever.
