Consecration to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart

Consecration to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart

Most Sweet Jesus, Redeemer of the human race, look down upon us humbly prostrate before You. We are Yours and Yours we wish to be; but to be more surely united with You, consecrate ourselves today to Your Most Sacred Heart. Many indeed have never known You; many, too, despising Your precepts have rejected You. Have mercy on them all, most merciful Jesus, and draw them to Your Sacred Heart. Be King, O Lord not only of the faithful who have never forsaken You, but also of the prodigal children who have abandoned You. Grant that they may quickly return to their Father's house lest they die of wretchedness and hunger. Be King of those who are deceived by erroneous opinions, or whom discord keeps aloof, and call them back to the harbour of truth and unity of faith, so that soon there may be one flock and one Shepherd. Grant, O Lord, to your Church, assurance of freedom and immunity from harm; give peace and order to all nations, and make the earth resound from pole to pole, with one cry: Praise to the Divine Heart that wrought our salvation; to Him be glory and honour forever. Amen

Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, and tender Mother of men, to fulfill the desires of the Sacred Heart and request of the Vicar of Your Son on earth we consecrate ourselves and our families to Your Immaculate Heart and recommend to You all the families of the world. Please accept our consecration, dearest Mother and use us and all the families to accomplish Your designs upon the world. O Immaculate Heart of Mary Queen of heaven and earth, and of our families rule over us, together with the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ, our King. Save us from the spreading flood of modern paganism kindle in our hearts and homes, the love of purity the practice of the Christian life and an ardent zeal for souls and for the holiness of family life. We come with confidence to You, O Throne of Grace and Mother of Fair Love. Inflame us with the same divine fire which has inflamed Your own Immaculate Heart. Make our hearts and homes Your shrine and through us make the Heart of Jesus rule and triumph in every family in the world. To the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary be honour and glory forever and ever! Amen.
