Memorare to the Sacred Heart
Remember, 0 most Sacred Heart of Jesus, that
none who have had recourse to Thee, implored

ever been abandoned. Filled and animated by this
same confidence, Ruler of all hearts, we have
recourse to Thee, and groaning under the weight
of our sins, prostrate ourselves before Thee.
Despise not our feeble prayers, but listen to them
favorably, and vouchsafe to answer them. Show
us that Thou art the Heart of the best of Fathers,
and graciously receive our prayers. Amen.
To the Sacred Heart to Obtain a Temporal
Favor
Jesus, my God, and my loving Saviour, through
the tender love of Thy Sacred Heart for Thy
miserable creatures, I most humbly and earnestly
beg Thee to grant my present request. The favor
I desire is a temporal one, yet Thou hast Thyself
taught us to pray for such; and Thy Gospel
furnishes innumerable instances of Thy compassionate benevolence
towards the sick, the suffering, and the afflicted. May my earnest
supplications move Thy loving Heart to grant my petitions, if it be for Thy honor and my salvation;
and if not, I ask, 0 Lord Jesus, only for the grace
of perfect patience, and the spirit of entire conformity to Thy adorable Will. Amen.
Act of Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
0 adorable Heart of Jesus, tenderest, most
amiable and most generous of all hearts! penetrated with gratitude at sight of Thy benefits, I
come to consecrate myself wholly and unreservedly to Thee! I wish to devote all my energies to
propagating Thy worship, and winning, if I only
could, all hearts to Thee. Receive my heart this
day, 0 Jesus! or rather take it and change it,
purify it, to render it worthy of Thee; make it
humble, obedient, gentle, patient, faithful and
generous like Thine. Inflame it with the fire of
Thy love! Hide it in Thy divine Heart with all
the hearts which love Thee, and are consecrated
to Thee. Never permit me to take my heart from
Thee again. Ah! let me rather die than ever
grieve Thy Adorable Heart! Yes, Heart of Jesus,
to always love Thee, to honor Thee, to serve
Thee, to ever be wholly Thine is the desire of my
heart for life, for death, and for all eternity!
Amen.
Act of Reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Adorable Heart of Jesus, glowing with love for
as, and inflamed with zeal for our salvation! 0
Heart! ever sensible to our misery and the
wretchedness to which our sins have reduced us;
infinitely rich in mercy to heal the wounds of our
souls! behold us humbly prostrate before Thee to
express the sorrow that fills our hearts for the
coldness and indifference with which we have so
long requited the numberless benefits that Thou
hast conferred upon us. With a deep sense of the
outrages that have been heaped upon Thee by our
sins and the sins of others, we come to make a
solemn reparation of honor to Thy most sacred
Majesty.
It was our sins that overwhelmed Thy Heart
with bitterness; it was the weight of our iniquities
that pressed down Thy Face to the earth in the
Garden of Olives, and caused Thee to expire in
anguish and agony on the Cross. But now,
repenting and sorrowful, we cast ourselves at Thy
feet and implore forgiveness.
Adorable Heart of Jesus! source of true contrition, and ever merciful to the penitent sinner!
Impart to our hearts the spirit of penance, and
give to our eyes a fountain of tears, that we may
sincerely bewail our sins now and for the rest of
our days! 0! would that we could blot them out,
even with Our blood! Pardon them, 0 Lord, in
Thy mercy, and pardon and convert to Thee all
that have committed irreverence's and sacrileges
against Thee in the Sacrament of Thy love, and
thus give another proof that Thy mercy is above
all Thy works!
Divine Jesus! with Thee there is mercy and
plentiful redemption! Deliver us from our sins!
Accept the sincere desire we now entertain and
our holy resolution, relying on the assistance of
Thy grace, henceforth to be faithful to Thee.
And in order to repair the sins and ingratitude by
which we have grieved Thy most tender and
loving heart, we are resolved in the future ever
to love and honor Thee in the most Adorable
Sacrament of the Altar, where Thou art ever
present to hear and grant our petitions, and to be
the food and life of our souls.
Be Thou, 0 compassionate Jesus! our Mediator
with Thy Heavenly Father, Whom we have so
grievously offended! Strengthen our weakness,
Confirm these our resolutions of amendment, and
as Thy Sacred Heart is our refuge and our hope
when we have sinned, so may it be the strength
and support of our repentance; that nothing, in
life or death, may ever again separate us from Thee!
Sighs to Jesus
0 Jesus, sweetest Love, come Thou to me;
Come down in all Thy beauty unto me;
Thou Who didst die for longing love of me;
And never, never more depart from me. Oh, melt my heart receiving Thee; my Own ;
My eyes are dim for lack of Thee, my0wn;
My flesh doth hunger, needing Thee, my Own;
My soul doth faint apart from Thee, my Own: Most Sacred Heart of Jesus! Thou lovest!
Thou art not loved! Would that Thou wert loved!
Heart of
my Creator, lead me to perfection!
Heart of
my Redeemer, deliver me!
Heart of
my Judge, pardon me! Heart of
my Father, guide me!

my King, be my crown! Heart of
my Benefactor, enrich me!
Heart of
my Pastor, guard me!
Heart of
my Friend, be my shelter!

my Infant Jesus, draw me, that I may
and be evermore closely united to Thee. Let us pray
We beseech Thee, Lord, may Thy Holy Spirit
set us on fire with that love which Our Lord
Jesus Christ cast out of the depths of His Heart
into the world and greatly wished should be
enkindled.

To plunge into the world's tempestuous sea.

Acts of Homage to the Eucharistic Heart of
Jesus
I
PRAYER
Heart of Jesus in the Eucharist, sweet companion of our exile, I adore thee!
Eucharistic Heart of Jesus;
Solitary Heart, humiliated Heart;
Abandoned Heart, forgotten Heart;
Despised Heart, outraged Heart;
Heart unknown by men;
Heart loving our hearts;
Heart desiring to be loved;
Heart patient in waiting for us;
Heart eager to grant our requests;
Heart desirous of being besought;
Heart source of new graces;
Silent Heart, wishing to speak to our souls;
Heart, sweet refuge of the hidden life;
Heart, teaching the secrets of Divine union;
Heart of Him Who sleeps yet ever watches—
Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!
Jesus, Victim! I wish to console Thee;
To unite myself with Thee;
To immolate myself with Thee;
To annihilate myself before Thee;
To forget myself to think of Thee;
To be forgotten and despised for love of Thee,
Not to be loved or understood save only by
Thee.
I will be silent to listen to Thee;
I will leave myself, to lose myself in Thee.
I will no longer weary Thy patience; take me, I
give myself to Thee. I offer Thee all my actions;
my mind, that Thou mayest illuminate it; my
heart, that Thou mayest direct it; my will, that
Thou mayest render it firm; my misery, that Thou
mayest succor it; my soul and my body, that Thou
mayest nourish them.
Eucharistic Heart of my Jesus, Whose Blood
is the life of my soul, I will no longer live, but
live Thou alone in me! Amen.

CONSECRATION
Jesus, adorable Savior, hidden in the Sacrament of Thy love, dwelling amongst us to sweeten
our exile, shall I not exert myself to console
Thee? Shall I not offer Thee my heart, since Thou
hast given me Thine? It is true that to give my to Thee is for my own advantage; it is to
find the-inestimable treasure of a loving, disinterested, faithful Heart, such as
l would wish my
own to be. Thus I, who can give nothing, am always receiving, Lord, I can not rival Thee in
generosity, but I love Thee; deign to accept my
poor heart, and. although it is worth nothing,
still it may become something by Thy grace.
Since it loves Thee, do Thou make it good for
something and keep it.
Eucharistic Heart of Jesus! I consecrate to
Thee all the faculties of my soul, all the powers
of my body. . .I wish to endeavor to know and love Thee
ever more and more, and to make Thee better
known and loved by others. I wish to labor only
for Thy glory, and to do only that which Thy Father, will consecrate to Thee all the moments of my
life in a spirit of adoration before Thy royal
presence; of thanksgiving for Thy incomparable
gift; in reparation for our cruel indifference; and in incessant
supplication for your prayers,
offered to Thee, with Thee, and in Thee, may
ascend purified and fruitful to the throne of God's
mercy and for His eternal glory. Amen.
Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, burning with love
of us, inflame our hearts with love of Thee! Atonement
Indulgenced
Eucharistic Heart of God, breathing and palpitating beneath the most sacred species, I adore
Thee. Moved by a new love in the presence of
the immense benefit of the Divine Eucharist,
penetrated with regret at my own ingratitude, I
humbly annihilate myself in the still greater abyss
of Thy mercies. Thou hast chosen me from my youth; Thou hast not
disdained my infirmity; descending into my poor heart, Thou didst come to
invite it to a mutual love, giving happiness and
peace. And I lost all because I was unfaithful to
Thee, 0 my Jesus! I allowed my mind to become
distracted and my heart to become cold; I listened
to myself and I forgot Thee. Thou didst wish to
be my guide, my Counselor, the Protector of my
life, and I, allowing my passions to smother this
sweet attraction, lost sight of Thee and forgot
Thee. In the salutary pains of trial, in the joys of Consolation, in my difficulties and my necessities,
in glad of having recourse to Thee, I sought
creatures and forgot Thee. I forgot Thee in the loved tabernacles wherein Thy love languishes;
if the churches of the city wherein Thou art enshrined; in sacrilegious and indifferent hearts, and
Be my own guilty one, 0 Jesus, even before and
art having received Thee. Eucharistic Heart of my Savior, the delight of my first Communion
and during the days of my fidelity, I surrender
myself to Thee. Come back, come back, and draw
me anew to Thyself. Pardon me once more, and
I will expiate all by the strength of my love.
Glorious Archangel St. Michael, and you beloved
St. John, offer my reparation to Jesus and be
propitious to me. Amen.
Aspiration
Indulgenced.
May the Heart of Jesus in the Most Blessed
Sacrament be praised, adored, and loved with
grateful affection, at every moment, in all the
tabernacles of the world even to the end of time!
Amen. |
