CONSECRATION OF PARISHES
TO THE PIERCED HEARTS OF JESUS AND MARY
Mother Adela Galindo,
Foundress sctjm
“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 to the extreme of allowing yourself
to be pierced, becoming a living fountain were abundant graces of salvation and of conversion
flow. From
your open Heart flows, with power and strength, the Blood and the Water which
purify, transform, vivify and liberate us. It is from
your Pierced Heart, visible sign of your love, that life
flows as an ever-flowing torrent of grace which brings
fecundity to the world. It is from your Heart opened by the lance,
and moved by your love and mercy,
that the Church, –your Spouse, your Mystical body and our Mother–, is born
filled with your grace, holiness and fecundity as a
perennial sacrament of your presence and seed of your
unending Reign.
Today, as pastor of this parish and in communion with the
faithful entrusted to me, I consecrate to your Most Sacred
Heart, the parish of __________________. 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 this parish be a channel of grace,
light, truth, justice, peace, mercy and charity for the world
so in need. Consecrated to your
Heart, we dispose 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 also opened in
order to receive, in virtue of your spiritual maternity, the
Mystical Body of Christ, born from the Pierced Heart of your
Son. Your Immaculate and Sorrowful Heart, receives the
Church in the person of St. John the Apostles so that you
may take care, nourish, protect and accompany Her, with
the same dedication which you had with your Son.
To you, Virgin Mother, the Pierced Heart of Christ commissioned 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, the parish
of _______________ 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
and we ask you, who are the living school of total
consecration and dedication to the Heart of Jesus, to 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. Defend us, with your
maternal care, from all the dangers against our eternal
and present life.
Oh Hearts of Jesus and Mary, Hope of Humanity! Today,
this parish consecrates itself completely to the love of
your Hearts. Today we dispose ourselves to lift on
high, as if on a luminous banner, the names of Jesus and
Mary. From our littleness, we desire to participate
in the merciful designs which the Pierced Hearts are manifesting
in the Church and in humanity. Having been consecrated to
the Pierced 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 each
heart, in the
priests, religious, laity committed in service and in each
one of us, for the greater good of the entire Church. Amen.
