Please consider taking advantage of this great sacrament of peace!!A Consecration Prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus (from The Priest magazine)A jubilee prayer, marking the 350th anniversary of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque’s visions of the Sacred Heart:
Lord Jesus, I want to give myself to you completely.When I see your Sacred Heart, I reflect upon your love. You came from the Father, taking a human body with a human heart. You taught us to love God with all our hearts. You suffered and died to save us from sin and death. As you hung on the cross, your heart was pierced by the soldier’s lance. Out of it poured blood and water to signify the birth of your Church (cf. Jn 19:34).You rose from the dead, Jesus, to live forever with your Father in heaven. But your heart is still full of love for us. You still feel pain when people reject or ignore your love. You want us all to live forever with God.I now consecrate my heart to your Sacred Heart, Jesus. You are the Son of God whom I love with all my heart. I offer you my body, my soul, my mind, and my heart. Receive me, make me holy, make my heart like your heart, and guide me in the way of perfect love today and every day of my life. Amen.Lenten blessings -Fr. Jim Bevacqua, Pastor
