“The honour and worship now given to the Sacred Heart of Jesus had its origin through the revelations made to St. Margaret Mary Alocoque in the seventeenth [17th] century. The immediate object of the devotion is the Heart of Jesus, the Son of God, and the burning love of Christ manifested toward mankind. Its aim is to make our Lord king over our hearts by exciting in them a return to love, by forming them to imitate His meekness [i.e. HUMILITY, not “pride”], and by offering Him reparation for the ingratitude of man.” - from Blessed be God: A Complete Catholic Prayer Book (p.363)
St. Margaret Mary’s Act of Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus:
“Sacred 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, honouring 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.
In union with the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I consecrate my loved ones, family members and my future to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
