Another Act of Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

To Thee, most sacred Heart of Jesus, I devote my life. To Thee I consecrate all my thoughts, words, actions, and sufferings. My whole being shall be employed henceforth in loving, serving, and glorifying Thee. Be Thou, most blessed and adorable Heart, the sole object of my love, the protector of my life, the pledge of my salvation, and my secure refuge at the hour of my death. Be Thou my advocate at the throne of Divine Justice, and screen me from the wrath which my sins deserve.

I trust entirely in Thy mercy. I place all my confidence in Thee. Destroy in me all that is displeasing to Thee. Jesus, meek and humble of heart, make my heart like unto Thine. Imprint Thyself like a seal upon my heart in order that I may never be separated from Thee. May I be a victim forever consecrated to Thy glory — ever burning with the flames of Thy pure love in time and for eternity. This is my whole desire — to live in Thee. This shall be my happiness, to live and die as Thy devoted servant. Sweet Heart of Jesus, I implore that I may love Thee more and more. Amen.

V. Heart of Jesus, burning with love for us.

R. Inflame our hearts with love of Thee.
