JESUS, Saviour  of  mankind,  Thou  has mercifully revealed  to  us  the  wonderful riches of  Thy  Heart;  in  thanksgiving  for  Thy benefits, especially  for  the  institution  of  the Holy Eucharist,  in  reparation  for  the  offenses against the  Blessed  Sacrament,  in  union  with Thy mediation  in  heaven  for  us  poor  sinners. I consecrate  myself  entirely  to  Thee,  for  the glory of  God  and  the  salvation  of  souls. I promise to  aid  in  spreading  the  worship  and  in promoting  the  interests  of  Thy  sacred  Heart.

I choose,  moreover,  the  Blessed  Virgin Mary for  my  queen,  my  advocate,  and  my mother,  and  I  am  resolved  to  imitate  her virtues, in  particular  her  love  for  sinners,  and to foster  and  promote  devotion  to  her  immaculate conception. I beseech  Thee  humbly  to accept  this  promise. Thou hast  inspired  me to  make  it;  grant  me  the  grace  to  fulfil  it Amen.

Sweet Heart  of  Jesus,  be  my  love!

Sweet heart  of  Mary,  be  my  salvation!

AY the  Heart  of  Jesus  in  the  Most  Blessed Sacrament be  praised,  adored,  and loved with  grateful  affection,  at  every  moment, In all  the  tabernacles  of  the  world,  even  to the  end  of  time. Amen.

Indulgence of 100 days. — Pius  IX,  Feb. 29.
