Prayer to the Heart of Jesus to ask for protection in the family

Most lovable heart of Jesus, which you made to your great devotee, Mary Margaret, the consoling promise to bless those houses in which the image of your Heart will be exposed, deign to accept the consecration that we make of our family to you.

With it we intend to solemnly proclaim the dominion you have over us and all creatures, recognizing you as king and shepherd of our souls. Your enemies, O Jesus, do not want to recognize your sovereign rights and repeat the satanic cry: "We do not want him to reign over us", thus tormenting your most lovable Heart in the most cruel way.

We want to make up for this outrage and we say to you with love: Jesus reigns over our family and each of its members.

It reigns on our minds, so that we always believe in the truths that you have taught us. Reign over our hearts, because we can always follow your divine teachings. Be thou alone, O divine Heart, king and provident shepherd of our souls whom thou hast conquered at the price of thy blood, and whom thou wilt be all safe.

Send your blessings upon us. Bless us in our works, in our enterprises, in our health, in our needs.

Bless us all in joy and pain, prosperity and adversity, now and always. Make peace, harmony, respect, mutual love and good example reign in us. Defend us from dangers, from diseases, from misfortunes and above all from sin. Finally, deign to write our name in your Heart and do not allow it to be canceled, so that after being united here on earth, we can one day find ourselves all united in heaven and sing the glories and triumphs of your mercy. Sacred Heart of Jesus, we trust in you!
