 Sweet Heart  of  Jesus,  be  my  love! Sweet Heart  of Mary,  be  my  salvation!

OOK down,  holy  Father  and  Lord,  from  Thy  sanctuary,  and  from  heaven,  Thy  dwelling-place  on  high, and behold  this  sacred  Victim  which  our  great  high  priest. Thy holy  child. Our Lord  Jesus,  offers  up  to  Thee  for  the sins of  His  brethren;  and  be  appeased  for  the  multitude  of our  transgressions. Behold, the  voice  of  the  blood  of  Jesus, our brother,  cries  to  Thee  from  the  cross. Give ear,  O Lord! Be appeased,  O  Lord! Hearken, and  do  not tarry, for  Thine  own  sake,  O  my  God,  for  Thy  name  is invoked  upon  this  city  and  upon  Thy  people;  and  deal  with us according  to  Thy  mercy. Amen,

V. That  Thou  vouchsafe  to  defend,  pacify,  keep,  preserve, and  bless  this  city.

R. We  beseech  Thee  to  hear  us.

Indulgence of 100  days,  once  a  day. — Pius  IX,  Feb. 4,  1877.

Issued with the  Encyclical  of  Pope  Leo  XIII,  May  25,  1899, on the  consecration  of  mankind  to  the  Sacred  Heart  of  Jesus.

OST 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  to-day  to  Thy  most  sacred Heart. Many, indeed,  have  never  known Thee; many,  too,  despising  Thy  precepts, have rejected  Thee. Have mercy  on  them
