Prayer of Consecration to the Sacred Heart by Pope Leo XIIIae356012f4f57144eae13a1f7088c1ef
Act of Reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
O Sweet Jesus,
Whose overflowing charity for men
is requited by so much forgetfulness,
negligence and contempt,
behold us prostrate before Thy altar
eager to repair by a special act of homage
the cruel indifference and injuries,
to which Thy loving Heart is everywhere subject.
Mindful alas!
That we ourselves have had a share in such great indignities,
which we now deplore from the depths of our hearts,
we humbly ask Thy pardon and declare our readiness
to atone by voluntary expiation
not only for our own personal offenses,
but also for the sins of those,
who, straying far from the path of salvation,
refuse in their obstinate infidelity to follow Thee,
their Shepherd and Leader,
or, renouncing the vows of their baptism,
have cast off the sweet yoke of Thy Law.
We are now resolved
to expiate each and every deplorable outrage committed against Thee;
we are determined to make amends
for the manifold offenses against Christian modesty
in unbecoming dress and behavior,
for all the foul seductions laid to ensnare the feet of the innocent,
for the frequent violations of Sundays and holidays,
and the shocking blasphemies uttered against Thee and Thy Saints.
Would, O Divine Jesus,
we were able to wash away such abominations with our blood.
We now offer, in reparation for these violations of Thy divine honor,
the satisfaction Thou didst once make to Thy Eternal Father on the cross
and which Thou dost continue to renew daily on our altars;
we offer It in union with the acts of atonement of Thy Virgin Mother
and all the Saints and of the pious faithful on earth;
and we sincerely promise to make recompense,
as far as we can with the help of Thy grace,
for all neglect of Thy great love
and for the sins we and others have committed in the past.
Henceforth, we will live a life of unwavering faith,
of purity of conduct,
of perfect observance of the precepts of the Gospel
and especially that of charity.
We promise to the best of our power
to prevent others from offending Thee
and to bring as many as possible to follow Thee.
O Loving Jesus,
through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
our model in reparation,
deign to receive the voluntary offering we make
of this act of expiation;
and by the crowning gift of perseverance,
keep us faithful unto death
in our duty and the allegiance we owe to Thee,
so that we may one day come to that happy home,
where Thou with the Father and the Holy Ghost
livest and reignest, God, world without end. Amen
