The Act of Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

 The Act of Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus is a profound prayer through which individuals offer themselves entirely to the love and mercy of Jesus as symbolized by His Sacred Heart. Here's a typical example of the Act of Consecration:

"O Sacred Heart of Jesus, to You 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, honoring, and glorifying You. This is my irrevocable will, to belong entirely to You and to do all for Your love, renouncing with my whole heart all that can displease You.

I take You, 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 Your 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 You, O Heart of Love, I hope all from Your infinite Goodness. Annihilate in me all that can displease or resist You.

Imprint Your pure love so deeply in my heart that I may never forget You or be separated from You. I beseech You, through Your infinite Goodness, grant that my name be engraved upon Your Heart, for in this I place all my happiness and all my glory: to live and to die as one of Your devoted servants. Amen."

This Act of Consecration expresses a profound commitment to live in union with the love, mercy, and will of Jesus Christ as symbolized by His Sacred Heart. It is a powerful expression of devotion and surrender to the Divine.
