Consecration Prayers of the US to the Sacred Heart

O Most Sacred Heart of Jesus: 

You know the longings of our hearts, and you desire that we enjoy friendship with you. 

From your pierced side, you have poured out the wellspring of life, for which we thirst. 

Your heart burns with a love for all people to return to a right relationship with you. 

We celebrate the abundant gifts you have given this nation, founded on the self-evident truths that our Creator has endowed all people with the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. 

We make reparation for the offenses against you and against human dignity that have taken place in this nation. 

May our hearts be united to yours, so that our families and communities enjoy peace and happiness; may broken relationships be reconciled, injustices repaired, and the wounds of our land be healed. 

May your holy Catholic Church serve as a sign, pointing all people to your infinite love. 

O Desire of Nations and Center of History, we ask you to bless these United States of America. 

Who live and reign with God the Father  

in the unity of the Holy Spirit, 

God, for ever and ever. 

Amen. 

 

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us! 

Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us!

Oración al Sagrado Corazón de Jesús

 

Sagrado Corazón de Jesús: 

Tú conoces los anhelos de nuestro corazón y deseas que disfrutemos de tu amistad. 

De tu costado traspasado has derramado el manantial de vida, del que tenemos sed. 

Tu corazón arde de amor para que todas las personas vuelvan a tener una relación correcta contigo. 

Celebramos los abundantes dones que has brindado a esta nación, fundada en las verdades evidentes que nuestro Creador ha dotado a todas las personas del derecho a la vida, a la libertad y a la búsqueda de la felicidad. 

Ofrecemos reparación por las ofensas contra ti y contra la dignidad humana ocurridas en esta nación. 

Que nuestros corazones se unan al tuyo, para que nuestras familias y comunidades gocen de paz y felicidad; que las relaciones dañadas se reconcilien, las injusticias se reparen y las heridas de nuestra tierra se sanen. 

Que tu santa Iglesia católica sirva de signo, mostrando a todos tu amor infinito. 

A ti, que eres el Deseo de las Naciones y el Centro de la Historia, te pedimos que bendigas a estos Estados Unidos de América. 

Tú que vives y reinas con Dios Padre  

en la unidad del Espíritu Santo, 

Dios, por los siglos de los siglos. 

Amén. 

 

Sagrado Corazón de Jesús, ¡ten piedad de nosotros! 

Inmaculado Corazón de María, ¡ruega por nosotros!

 

Twelve Promises that Christ made to St. Margaret Mary Alocoque for those Devoted to his Sacred Heart

Jesus Christ made these twelve promises to those who honor His Sacred Heart to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, a French nun, whom he called “the Beloved Disciple of the Sacred Heart” and the Heiress “of all Its treasures”, in the 1670’s.  

Considering that the blood that redeemed us at Calvary came from His Sacred Heart, and that so much love and light still exude from it, these twelve promises were revealed in a personal revelation to St. Margaret Mary: 

1.   I will give them all the graces necessary for their state of life.

2.   I will establish peace in their families.

3.   I will bless every home in which an image of My Heart is exposed and honored.

4.  I will console them in all their difficulties.

5.  I will be their refuge during life and especially at the hour of death.

6.  I will shed abundant blessing upon all their undertakings.

7.  Sinners shall find in My Heart a fountain and boundless ocean of mercy.

8.  Tepid souls shall become fervent.

9.  Fervent souls shall rise speedily to great perfection.

10. I will give to priests the power of touching the hardest hearts.

11. Those who propagate this devotion shall have their names written in My Heart never to be blotted out.

12. I promise you, in the excessive mercy of My Heart that My all-powerful love will grant to all who communicate on the First Friday of the month for nine consecutive months the grace of final penitence; they shall not die in My displeasure nor without their last Sacraments: “My Divine Heart shall be their safe refuge in this last moment.”

Jesus promised St. Margaret Mary Alacoque that He "will bless the home in which the image of my Sacred Heart shall be exposed and honored." When we place the image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in a prominent place in our homes, we signify that Jesus is the King and the center and source of love for all.
