PRAYER FOR THE YEAR OF THE TWO HEARTS

O Sacred Heart of Jesus, the reality of our
deeply wounded and broken country
impels us to respond with new urgency
to the most pressing problems of our times.

We are a broken people. Our hearts are fragmented
and we are discouraged. We need Your Heart,
O Lord, as we seek to be made whole.

Rooted in our faith in You and love for our country,
we want to participate in Your work
of transformation of persons, families,
organizations, and society.

Through the transforming power of the love
of Your Heart, we draw a new dynamism, a
strong inspiration, a fire, which can change
and transfigure our lives as individuals
and as a nation.
(Please pause for a specific intention.)

Love of the Heart of Jesus, give us courage
and patience. Wisdom of the Heart of Jesus,
teach us to pray and to act with hope and charity
at all times. Amen!

Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us!

CONSECRATION TO SACRED HEART AND IMMACULATE HEART

CONSECRATION TO THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS

AND IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY

Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary,
I consecrate my entire self to the Most Holy Love
of Your Two Hearts.

I wish to make reparation for all the sins of the world,
including my own. I offer these things for the love
of the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

I will keep my mind on beauty and turn my thoughts
away from evil things. I will hold my temper and
bear the mistakes of others with love
and a forgiving heart.

I will admit when I am wrong and ask others
to forgive me. I will not show off, but remain
humble. I will offer up all my sufferings, sickness
and hurts. I will seek God's Will, not my own.

I will show appreciation for the kindness,
the blessings that I receive, and always
thank God for all things.

I will do everything in my life for love of God.
And, I will love others, as God has loved me.

O Sacred Heart of Jesus, through the intercession
of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, receive the
offering and consecration I now make of myself to You.

Keep me faithful unto death.
Bring me one day to the happy home in heaven.
I desire to live forever with God the Father and
Most Holy Spirit and You my Jesus,
together with Your Most Immaculate Mother.
Amen.
