Consecration of the Human Race to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Most sweet Jesus, Redeemer of the human race, look down upon us humbly prostrate before
Your altar. We are Yours, and Yours we wish to be; but, to be more surely united with You,
behold each one of us freely consecrates himself today to Your Most Sacred Heart. Many indeed
have never known You; many too, despising Your precepts, have rejected You. Have mercy on
them all, most merciful Jesus, and draw them to Your Sacred Heart.
You are King, O Lord, not only of the faithful who have never forsaken You, but also of the
prodigal children who have abandoned You; grant that they may quickly return to their Father's
house lest they die of wretchedness and hunger.
You are King of those who are deceived by erroneous opinions, or whom discord keeps aloof;
call them back to the harbor of truth and unity of faith, so that soon there may be but one flock
and one Shepherd.
You are King of all those who are still involved in the darkness of idolatry or of Islamism; refuse
not to draw them all into the light and kingdom of God. Turn Your eyes of mercy toward the
children of that race, once Your chosen people. Of old they called down upon themselves the
Blood of the Savior; may it now descend upon them a laver of redemption and of life.
Grant, O Lord, to Your Church assurance of freedom and immunity from harm; give peace and
order to all nations, and make the earth resound from pole to pole with one cry: Praise to the
Divine Heart that wrought our salvation; to It be glory and Honor forever. Amen.
Pagtatalaga ng Sangkatauhan sa Banal na Puso ni Hesus
Katamis-tamisang Hesus, tagapagligtas ng sangkatauhan, tignan mo kaming mapagpakumbabang
lumuluhod sa iyong Altar. Kami ay sayo, at sayo hangad naming maging; ngunit, upang
masmaging kaisa kami sayo, narito ang bawat isa sa amin at buong pusong itinatalaga ang bawat
sarili sa iyong Kabanal-banalang Puso. Tunay nga na marami ang hindi nakakakilala sa iyo;
marami din ang mga tumataliwas sa iyong mga aral, nagwawalang-bahala sa iyo. Kaawaan niyo
po silang lahat, maawaing Hesus, at hanguin mo sila tungo sa iyong Banal na Puso.
Ikaw ay hari, O Panginoon, hindi lamang ng mga mananampalataya na hindi ka tinalikuran,
ngunit pati ng mga alibughang anak na iniwan ka; ipagkaloob mo na sila ay mabilis makabalik sa
tahanan ng Ama o sila ay mamamatay sa katigasan ng puso at gutom.
Ikaw ay hari ng mga taong nalinlang ng mga di naaakmang kasabihan, o ng mga taong nanatili sa
pagkakawalay sayo; tawagin mo sila sa daong ng pananamapalataya at pagkakaisa sa
pananampalataya, upang sa gayon magkaroon ng iisang tuahan at iisang Pastol.
Ikaw ay hari ng lahat ng mga taong nanatili sa kadiliman ng idolatriya o ng Islam; wag mong
ipahintulot na di sila madala sa liwanag at sa kaharian ng Diyos. Ilingon mo ang mata mong
maawain sa mga tao ng ganoong lahi, na minsan ay iyong bayan. Noong una ay tinatawag nila sa
kanilang mga sarili ang dugo ng manliligtas, naway ngayon ito ay lumukob sa kanila at maging
daan para sa kaligtasan at buhay.
Ipagkaloob mo, O Panginoon, sa iyong simbahan ang kasiguraduhan ng kalayaan at ikakaligtas
sa lahat ng Panganib, ipagkaloob mo ang kapayapaan at kaayusan sa lahat ng bansa, at gawin mo
ang sanlibutan ay manalangin mula sa mga kadulu-duluhan hanggang sa kadulu-duluhan nito ng
may isang panalangin: Papuri sa Banal na Puso na nagdulot ng ating kaligtasan; dito ay papuri at
kaluwalhatian magpasawalang hanggan. Amen.
Act of Reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
O sweet Jesus, Whose overflowing charity for me is requited by so much forgetfulness,
negligence and contempt, behold us prostrate before Your alter (in Your presence) eager to
repair by a special act of homage the cruel indifference and injuries, to which Your loving Heart
is everywhere subject.
Mindful alas! that we ourselves have had a share in such great indignities, which we now deplore
from the depths of our hearts, we humbly ask Your pardon and declare our readiness to atone by
voluntary expiation not only for our own personal offenses, but also for the sins of those, who,
straying for from the path of salvation, refuse in their obstinate infidelity to follow You, their
Shepherd and Leader, or, renouncing the vows of their baptism, have cast off the sweet yoke of
Your Law. We are now resolved to expiate each and every deplorable outrage committed against
You; we are determined to make amends for the manifold offenses against Christian modesty in
unbecoming dress and behavior, for all the foul seductions laid to ensnare the feet of the
innocent, for the frequent violations of Sundays and holidays, and the shocking blasphemies
uttered against You and Your Saints. We wish also to make amends for the insults to which Your
Vicar on earth and Your priest are subjected, for the profanation, by conscious neglect or terrible
acts of sacrilege, of the very Sacrament of Your Divine Love; and lastly for the public crimes of
nations who resist the rights and teaching authority of the Church which You have founded.
Would, O divine Jesus, we were able to wash away such abominations with our blood. We now
offer, in reparation for these violations of Your divine honor, the satisfaction You once made to
Your eternal Father on the cross and which You continue to renews daily on our altars; we offer
it in union with the acts of atonement of Your Virgin Mother and all the Saints and of the pious
faithful on earth; and we sincerely promise to make recompense, as far as we can with the help
of Your grace, for all neglect of Your great love and for the sins we and others have committed
in the past. Henceforth we will live a life of unwavering faith, of purity of conduct, of perfect
observance of the precepts of the gospel and especially that of charity. We promise to the best of
our power to prevent other from offending You and to bring as many as possible to follow You.
O loving Jesus, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, our model in reparation,
deign to receive the voluntary offering we make of this act of expiation; and by the crowing gift
of perseverance keep us faithful unto death in our duty and the allegiance we owe to You, so that
we may one day come to that happy home, where You with the Father and the Holy Spirit lives
and reigns, God, world without end. Amen
