An Act of Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus 1

I give myself 
and consecrate to the Sacred Heart of our Lord Jesus Christ, 
my person and my life, 
my actions, 
pains and sufferings, 
so that I may be unwilling to make use 
of any part of my being other than to honor, 
love and glorify the Sacred Heart. 
This is my unchanging purpose, namely, 
to be all His, 
and to do all things for the love of Him, 
at the same time renouncing with all my heart 
whatever is displeasing to Him. 
I therefore take You, 
O Sacred Heart, 
to be the only object of my love, 
the guardian of my life,
my assurance of salvation, 
the remedy of my weakness and inconstancy, 
the atonement for all the faults of my life 
and my sure refuge at the hour of death. 

Be then, O Heart of goodness, 
my justification before God the Father, 
and turn away from me the strokes of his righteous anger.
O Heart of love, 
I put all my confidence in You, 
for I fear everything from my own wickedness and frailty, 
but I hope for all things from Your goodness and bounty.

Remove from me all that can displease You 
or resist Your holy will;
let your pure love imprint Your image 
so deeply upon my heart, 
that I shall never be able to forget You 
or to be separated from You.

May I obtain from all Your loving kindness 
the grace of having my name written in Your Heart, 
for in You I desire to place all my happiness and glory, 
living and dying in bondage to You. 

Amen.

An Act of Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus 3

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, 
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.

An Act of Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus 4

Most loving Jesus, 
I consecrate myself today anew 
and without reserve to Thy divine Heart. 
I consecrate to Thee my body with all its senses, 
my soul with all its faculties, 
and in short, my entire being. 
I consecrate to Thee all my thoughts, words and deeds; 
all my sufferings and labours; 
all my hopes, consolations and joys; 
and chiefly do I consecrate to Thee this poor heart of 
mine, 
to the end that it may love nothing save only Thee, 
and may be consumed as a victim in the fire of Thy love. 
Accept, O Jesus, 
thou dearest Spouse of my soul, 
the desire which I have of consoling Thy divine heart, 
and of belonging to thee for ever. 
Take possession of me in such wise 
that from this day forth I may have no other freedom, 
save that of loving Thee, 
and no other life, 
save that of suffering and dying for Thee; 
I put my trust in Thee without reserve, 
and I hope for the remission of my sins 
through Thine infinite bounty. 
I place within Thy hands all my cares and anxieties, 
especially as touching my eternal salvation. 
I promise to love Thee and honour Thee 
to the last moment of my life, 
and to spread, as much as I can, 
the worship of Thy most Sacred Heart.
Dispose of me, my Jesus, 
according to Thy good pleasure; 
I would have no other reward save Thy greater glory and 
Thy holy love. 
Grant me grace to find my home in Thy divine Heart; 
here would I pass every day of my life; 
here would I breathe forth my last breath; 
only do Thou establish in my heart Thy dwelling place, 
the seat of Thy rest, 
in order that we may thus remain inseparably united; 
and so may I one day be able to praise Thee, 
love Thee and possess Thee for ever in the kingdom of 
heaven, 
where I shall sing without end 
the infinite mercies of Thy Sacred Heart. 

Amen.

Act of Contrition 1

O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended You. I detest all my sins because I dread the loss of Heaven and the pains of hell.
But most of all because they offend You, my God, Who are all good and deserving of all my love.

I firmly resolve, with the help of Your grace to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin.

Amen.

to do penance, to sin no more,
and to avoid whatever leads me to sin.

O my God,
