 part of  my  being  for  the  future  except  in  honoring,  loving, and glorifying  that  Sacred  Heart.

It is  my  irrevocable  will  to  be  entirely  His,  and  to  do everything  for  His  love,  renouncing  with  my  whole  heart whatever might  displease  Him.

I take  Thee,  then,  O  Most  Sacred  Heart,  as  the  sole object of  my  love,  as  the  protector  of  my  life,  as  the  pledge of my  salvation,  as  the  remedy  of  my  frailty  and  inconstancy, as  the  repairer  of  all  the  defects  of  my  life,  and  as my  secure  refuge  in  the  hour  of  death.

Be then,  O  Heart  of  goodness,  my  justification  before God the  Father,  and  remove  far  from  me  the  thunderbolts of his  just  wrath. O Heart  of  love,  I  place  my  whole  confidence in  Thee. While I  fear  all  things  from  my  malice and frailty,  I  hope  all  things  from  Thy  goodness.

Consume then  in  me  whatever  can  displease  or  be  opposed to  Thee,  and  may  Thy  pure  love  be  so  deeply  impressed upon  my  heart  that  it  may  be  impossible  that  I should  ever  be  separated  from  Thee,  or  forget  Thee.

I implore  Thee,  by  all  Thy  goodness,  that  my  name  may be written  in  Thee,  for  in  Thee  I  wish  to  place  all  my  happiness and  all  my  glory,  living  and  dying  in  very  bondage to Thee. Amen.
