I have a prayer card from 1953, the year of my birth. On the front is a picture of Jesus with wounded hands extended and sacred heart exposed. Beneath the picture are the words “Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in You.” On the back of the card is a beautiful prayer that I pray each morning relinquishing all to Him.
“Lord Jesus Christ. I consecrate myself today anew and without reserve to Your divine Heart. I consecrate to You my body with all its senses, my soul with all its faculties, my entire being. I consecrate to You all my thoughts, words and deeds, all my sufferings and labors, all my hopes, consolations and joys. In particular I consecrate to You this poor heart of mine so that it may love only You and may be consumed as a victim in the fire of Your love.
I place my trust in You without reserve and I hope for the remission of my sins through Your infinite mercy. I place within Your hands all my care and anxieties. I promise to love You and to honor You till the last moment of my life, and to spread, as much as I can, devotion to Your most Sacred Heart.
Do with me what you will, my Jesus. I deserve no other reward except Your greater glory and Your holy love.
Take this offering of myself and give me a place within Your divine Heart forever. Amen.
How do you start your day? Take a few minutes to consecrate yourself to Him. It will make a difference; He promises.
