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 inconstancy,
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.
I beseech Thee,
through Thine infinite Goodness,
grant that my name be
engraved upon Thy Heart,
for in this I place
all my happiness and
all my glory,
to live and to die
as one of Thy devoted servants.
Amen.
