Act
of Consecration
JESUS, adorable LORD, hidden in thy
Sacrament of love, Thou who abidest with us to sweeten our exile, should I not
occupy myself in consoling Thee in thine ? To Thee who givest me thy heart, how
should I not offer Thee mine ? Truly, to give myself to Thee is to benefit
myself; it is to find an ineffable treasure, a heart, loving, disinterested,
and faithful, such as I would wish my own to be. I cannot be for ever receiving,
and giving nothing in return. Dear LORD, I could never vie with Thee in
generosity, but I love Thee; deign to accept my poor heart, and though it is
worthless, yet because Thou lovest it, it may become something by thy grace;
make it good and take it into thy custody.
Eucharistic Heart of JESUS, I consecrate
to Thee all the powers of my soul, and all the powers of my body; I desire to
apply myself to the work of knowing Thee and loving Thee ever more and more, in
order to make Thee better known and loved by others. I would do nothing except
what tends to thy glory, nor and in anything but as thy divine FATHER wills. I
consecrate to Thee all the moments of my life in a spirit of adoration before
thy real presence, in a spirit of thanksgiving for this incomparable gift, of
reparation for our cruel indifference, and of incessant supplication, so that
our prayers offered to Thee, with Thee, and in Thee may rise to the throne of
divine mercy pure and efficacious, and for GOD’S eternal glory. Amen.
