Sweet Heart of Jesus, be my love! Sweet Heart of Mary, be my salvation!
Prayer for a Vist to Jesus
In Behalf of a Municipality
LOOK 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.
Form of Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Issued with the Encyclical of Pope Leo XIII, May 25, 1899, on the consecration of mankind to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
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 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
