Today's devotion for thanks: 27 April 2020

Today I want to offer you as a devotion the prayer that Jesus dictated to Santa Margherita in the revelation of his Sacred Heart.

Jesus dictated this prayer to the Saint as consecration to his Sacred Heart promising thanks and protection.

Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

(by Santa Margherita Maria Alacoque)

I (name and surname), I give and consecrate my person and my life (my family / my marriage), my actions, pains and sufferings to the adorable Heart of our Lord Jesus Christ, so as not to want to serve myself anymore. 'any part of my being, which to honor him, love him and glorify him. This is my irrevocable will: to be all his and do everything for his love, giving up from the heart all that might displease him. I choose you, O Sacred Heart, as the only object of my love, as guardian of my way, pledge of my salvation, remedy of my fragility and inconstancy, repairer of all the faults of my life and safe haven in the hour of my death. Be, O Heart of kindness, my justification to God, your Father, and remove his just indignation from me. O loving heart, I place all my trust in you, because I fear everything from my malice and weakness, but I hope everything from your goodness. Consume, therefore, in me what can displease or resist you; your pure love is deeply impressed in my heart, so that it can no longer forget you or be separated from you. For your goodness, I ask you that my name be written in you, for I want to realize all my happiness and glory in living and dying as your servant. Amen.
