Consecrating yourself to the Sacred Heart is simple, but
powerful. After a period of meditation, prayer, and thoughtful consideration of how you will live the devotion daily,
you may say the following or a similiar prayer:
Personal Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
O Sacred Heart of Jesus,
Inspired by Your love for me
I come to consecrate myself
totally and completely to thee.
It is my most fervent desire to devote myself -
body, mind and spirit -
to Your Most Sacred Heart
and by my words and my deeds
to inspire others to also devote themselves to You.
Receive my heart, O Lord,
and unite it with Thine, I pray!
Make it humble, gentle, patient, faithful
and generous like Thine
by inflaming it with the fire of Thy love.
O My Jesus, who knowest my heart
better than I know it,
hold it close to Your Heart
that I may love you always above all else
and that I may never grieve Your Heart again.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on me.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I love Thee.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I trust in Thee.
