“It is appropriate in our
times, to profoundly understand and have a greater
conscience of the intimate relationship that exists between
the Two Hearts, and of the immense value that an authentic
devotion and consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary
have in our lives.”
(Pope John Paul II, November 23, 1987)
Oh Sacred Heart of Jesus,
you have loved humanity unto the extent of allowing yourself
to be pierced, becoming for us, a living fountain of
unending graces of salvation and of conversion. It is from
your Pierced and Opened Heart, –visible sign of your love–
that our hearts receive, the Blood and the Water which
purify, transform, vivify and liberate us; that the world
receives an ever-flowing torrent of grace, life and
fruitfulness. It is from your Heart opened by the lance,
that the Church, –your Spouse and our Mother–, is born, as a
perennial sacrament of your presence and seed of your
unending Reign, and is strengthen with your Holiness and
Fruitfulness.
Today, as pastor of this parish and in communion with the
faithful entrusted to me, I consecrate to your Most Sacred
Heart, __________________. We acknowledge, by this act of
consecration, our desire to live in communion of love with
your Eucharistic Heart, center and pillar of the life of the
Church. We dispose ourselves to the sanctifying work of the
Holy Spirit, who seeks to transform us and to give to us a
heart like Your own. May we enter into the school of your
Heart so as to acquire the virtues of humility and meekness;
of obedience and self-denial; of generosity and sincere
charity. Protect us from all sin, selfishness, error and
indifference. Living within your Heart and allowing
ourselves to be transformed by your love, may ______________
be a channel of grace for the world. Consecrated to your
Heart, we dedicate ourselves to fulfill your merciful
designs and to construct with authentic holiness and with
fruitful, apostolic work, the civilization of love and life:
the Reign of your Heart.
Oh Immaculate Heart of Mary, spiritually pierced at the foot
of the Cross as a result of your perfect and indissoluble
communion with the Heart of Jesus. Your Heart was opened in
order to receive, in virtue of your spiritual maternity, the
Mystical Body of Christ, born from the Open Heart of your
Son. Your Immaculate and Sorrowful Heart, receives the
Church in the person of St. John the Apostle. At that
moment, the Pierced Heart of Christ, commissioned you to
protect with your attentive, maternal Heart, the Church,
destined to advance the Kingdom of God in history, in the
face of great battles and dangers.
Today, _______________ placing itself in the person of St.
John, receives with profound gratitude, your maternal
mission in the life of the parish and in the life of each
faithful. We consecrate ourselves to your Immaculate Heart.
Teach us to love the Heart of your Son without divisions; to
listen to Him with complete openness and docility; to obey
Him with diligence and exactness; to actively cooperate with
responsibility in the designs of His Heart in the historic
moment in which we live. Guard us and defend us in your
Immaculate Heart, sure refuge of sinners. Protect us from
all that can separate us from the love of the Heart of
Christ and from His Will.
Oh Hearts of Jesus and Mary, Hope of Humanity! Today,
_______________ consecrates itself completely to the love of
your Hearts. From our littleness, we desire to participate
in the merciful designs which the Two Hearts are manifesting
in the Church and in humanity. Having been consecrated to
the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, we renew with greater love,
fidelity and zeal, our commitment towards the call for a New
Evangelization received from our Holy Father, Pope John Paul
II. We renew our commitment towards holiness and coherence
of life and to the faithful and enthusiastic proclamation of
the truth, taught to us by the Magisterium of the Church.
May this consecration result in fruits of conversion,
charity, justice, peace, generosity and mercy in each one of
us. May the Two Hearts establish their reign of love in the
priests, religious, laity committed in service and in each
one of us, for the greater good of the entire Church. Amen.
