An Act of Consecration to The Sacred Heart of Jesus

I give myself and consecrate to the Sacred Heart of our Lord Jesus Christ, my person and my life, my
actions, pains and sufferings, so that I may be unwilling to make use of any part of my being other
than to honor, love and glorify the Sacred Heart. This is my unchanging purpose, namely, to be all
His, and to do all things for the love of Him, at the same time renouncing with all my heart whatever
is displeasing to Him. I therefore take You, O Sacred heart, to be the only object of my love, the
guardian of my life, my assurance of salvation, the remedy of my weakness and inconstancy, the
atonement for all the faults of my life and my sure refuge at the hour of death.

Be then, O Heart of goodness, my justification before God the Father, and turn away from me the
strokes of his righteous anger. O Heart of love, I put all my confidence in You, for I fear everything
from my own wickedness and frailty, but I hope for all things from Your goodness and bounty.

Remove from me all that can displease You or resist Your holy will; let your pure love imprint Your
image so deeply upon my heart, that I shall never be able to forget You or to be separated from You.

May I obtain from all Your loving kindness the grace of having my name written in Your Heart, for in
You I desire to place all my happiness and glory, living and dying in bondage to You. Amen.

An Act of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus, I believe that You

are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.

I love You above all things,

and I desire to receive You into my soul.

Since I cannot at this moment

receive You sacramentally,

come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself
wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
Prayer While Visiting The Most Blessed Sacrament

by St. Alphonsus Liguori

My Lord Jesus Christ, for the love which You bear to men, You remain night and day in this Sacrament
full of compassion and of love, awaiting, calling, and welcoming all who come to visit You. I believe
that You are present in the Sacrament of the Altar: I adore You from the abyss of my nothingness,
and I thank You for all the graces which You have bestowed upon me and in particular for having
given me Yourself in this Sacrament, for having given me your holy Mother Mary for my advocate,
and for having called me to visit You in this chapel. I now salute

Your most loving Heart: and this for three ends:

1. In thanksgiving for this great gift;

2. To make amends to You for all the outrages which You receive in this Sacrament from all Your
enemies;

3. I intend by this visit to adore You in all the places on earth in which You are the least revered and
the most abandoned.

My Jesus, I love You with all my heart. I grieve for having so many times offended Your infinite
goodness. I promise with Your grace never more to offend You in the future.

Now, miserable and unworthy though I be, I consecrate myself to You without reserve;

I give You my entire will, my affections, my desires, and all that I possess. From now on dispose of me
and of all that I have as You please. All that I ask of You and desire is Your holy love, final
perseverance, and the perfect accomplishment of Your will. I recommend to You the souls in
purgatory; but especially those who had the greatest devotion to the most Blessed Sacrament and to
the Blessed Virgin Mary. I also recommend to You all poor sinners.

My dear Saviour, I unite all my affections with the affections of Your most loving Heart; and I offer
them, thus united, to Your eternal Father, and beseech Him in Your name to vouchsafe, for Your love,
to accept them. Amen.

Prayer for Vocations

O Holy Spirit, Spirit of wisdom and divine love, impart Your knowledge, understanding, and counsel

their chastity, fashion their minds, conquer their hearts, and lead them to the vineyards where they
will labor in God’s holy service. Amen.
