Most sweet Jesus, Redeemer of the human race,
look down upon us, humbly prostrate before Thy altar.
We are Thine, and Thine we wish to be;
but to be more surely united with Thee,
behold each one of us freely consecrates himself today
to Thy Most Sacred Heart.

Many indeed have never known Thee;
many too, despising Thy precepts, have rejected Thee.
Have mercy on them all, most merciful Jesus,
and draw them to Thy Sacred Heart.

Be Thou King, O Lord, not only of the faithful
who have never forsaken Thee,
but also of the prodigal children who have abandoned Thee.
Grant that they may quickly return to their Father's house,
lest they perish of wretchedness and hunger.

Be Thou King of those who are deceived by erroneous opinions,
or whom discord keeps aloof,
and call them back to the harbour of truth and the unity of faith,
so that soon there may be but one flock and one Shepherd.

Grant, O Lord, to Thy 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 be to the divine Heart that wrought our salvation;
to It be glory and honour for ever.
Amen.
