The purpose of this forum is to give glory to, learn about, and discuss the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

"I shall open my heart to all who honor me"

Copied with permission from Apostleship of Prayer

St. Margaret Mary Alacoque was born in France in 1647. Jesus appeared to St. Margaret Mary several times. He spoke to her about the following.

The other promises Jesus gives are as follows:

1. He will give all the graces necessary for our state of life.

2. He will establish peace in our families.

3. He will comfort us in all our afflictions.

4. He will be our secure refuge during life, and above all in death.

5. He will bestow a special blessing upon all our undertakings.

6. Sinners will find in His Heart the source and infinite ocean of mercy.

7. Tepid souls will grow fervent.

8. Fervent souls will quickly mount to high perfection.

9. He will bless every place where a picture of His Heart is exposed and honored.

10. He will give to priests the gift of touching the most hardened hearts.

11. Those who promote this devotion will have their names written in His Heart - never to be blotted out.

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 cares 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
