Sacred Heart of Jesus


Lord Jesus Christ, thank you for being with us till the end of time. You are present among us in word and sacrament. You are also present in our homes, for you have said, "Where two or three are gathered in my name there I am among them". We come to you today with a great desire to belong to you more closely and to discover you more fully as the Way, the Truth and the Life.

To St. Margaret Mary you revealed your great wish to be the Centre of all families. You promised to bless, in a special way, all those who consecrate themselves and their homes to your Sacred Heart. Each one of us here has already been consecrated to you in Baptism. Today, we wish to renew this consecration with our whole heart. We commit ourselves to you, as individuals and as a family, by our consecration to your Sacred Heart. We desire to be true to you and to your Church, in our family values, our relationships and entertainment, and to be of service for your Kingdom, all the days of our life.

Lord Jesus, be with us now and always. Bid us together in your love. Open our hearts to serve those in need. Sustain us in our daily struggle to be true to your Gospel. Take away all useless worry and anxiety. Be with us particularly in time of sickness and suffering. Direct us in our moments of doubt. Protect us from snares of the Evil One.

Sinners though we are, we still trust in your infinite love and mercy. When we go along our selfish way and do wrong, follow us closely, like the Good Shepherd in search of the lost sheep. In your goodness and love lead us safely back to your fold.

Be close to us in a special way at the hour of death. Grant us perfect peace as we surrender ourselves to God in the dying moments of our life. To those of us who are left behind, grant courage and strength. May we live in the hope of one day being reunited as one family in your Heavenly Kingdom. To you be glory, honour and praise forever. Amen.
