My Death. Amen

An Act of Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Mary.

O Heart of Mary, I offer, I consecrate to thee my heart; thou shalt ever be the object of my veneration, love, and confidence ; I will pay thee my devotions every day; I will celebrate thy feasts with joy; I will proclaim thy greatness and thy goodness without ceas- ing ; I will neglect no means of obtaining thee the hon- our and the homage which are due unto thee ; I will bring all the thoughts and affections of my heart into conformity with thine ; and I will make it my duty to imitate thy virtues, especially thy purity and thy hu- mility. Vouchsafe, O Mary, to open to me thy Heart, and to receive me therein, in union with all thy dear and faith- ful children. Obtain for me the grace 1 need to imitate thee, as thou hast imitated Jesus Christ ; succour me in all dangers, console me in all afflictions, and teach me how to make a holy use of all the goods and ills of life. Amen
