Consecration Prayers to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Virgin Mary.

CONSECRATION PRAYER TO THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS

Sacred Heart of Jesus,
filled with infinite love,
broken by my ingratitude,
pierced by my sins, yet loving me still,
accept the consecration that I make to Thee,
of all that I am and all that I have.

Take every faculty of my soul and body,
and draw me, day by day,
nearer and nearer to Thy Sacred Side,
and there, as I can bear the lesson,
teach me Thy blessed ways.

Amen.

AN ACT OF CONSECRATION TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY

O Mother of God, Immaculate Mary, to thee do I dedicate my body and soul, all my prayers and deeds, my joys and sufferings, all that I am an all that I have. With a joyful heart I surrender myself to thy love. To thee will I devote my services of my own free will for the salvation of mankind, and for the help of the Holy Church whose Mother thou art.

From now on my only desire is to do all things with thee, through thee, and for thee. I know I can accomplish nothing by my own strength, whereas thou can do everything that is the will of thy Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ. Thou are always victorious.

Grant, therefore, O Helper of the Faithful, that my family, my parish, and my country might become in truth the Kingdom where thou reignest in the glorious presence God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost, forever and ever.

Amen.
