CONSECRATION TO THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS
I, [name]... surrender and consecrate myself to the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ, my person and my life, my actions, my pains and sufferings, so that I may not wish to use any part of my being that is not to honor, love, and glorify the Sacred Heart. This is my unchanging purpose, primarily, to be completely His, and to do all things for love of Him, while at the same time renouncing with all my heart everything that is not pleasing to Him. Therefore, I take You, Sacred Heart, as the only object of my love, the guardian of my life, my security of salvation, the remedy for my weakness and inconstancy, the atonement for all the faults of my life, and my safe refuge in the hour of death. Know then, oh! Heart of Goodness, my justification before God the Father, and remove from me the blows of His righteous anger. Oh! Heart of love, I place all my trust in You, for I fear everything due to my own wickedness and fragility, but I have hope in all things through Your goodness and generosity. Remove from me anything that may displease You or resist Your holy will; allow Your pure love to imprint Your image so deeply in my heart that I may never forget You or separate myself from You. May I obtain from Your beloved goodness the grace to have my name written in Your Heart, for in You, I wish to place all my happiness and glory, living and dying as Your servant. Amen.
By Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque
CONSECRATION TO THE SORROWFUL AND IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY
I, [Name], consecrate myself to your Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart, beloved Daughter of the Eternal Father. Hail Mary, the most admirable Mother of the Son. Hail Mary, the most faithful spouse of the Holy Spirit. Hail Mary, the most beloved Mother, the most loving Lady, the most powerful Queen. Hail Mary, my joy, my glory, my heart, and my soul. You are all mine by the mercy of God, but I am all yours by justice. Yet, I do not belong to you enough, and so, once more, as a slave who always belongs to his master, I give myself entirely to you, without keeping anything for myself or for others.
If you still see anything in me that has not been given to you, please take it now. Become the complete Mistress of all my capacities. Destroy in me all that is not pleasing to God. Eradicate it and make it nothing. Implant in me all that you consider good; improve it and cause it to grow in me.
May the light of your faith dispel the darkness of my mind. May your profound humility take the place of my pride. May your heavenly contemplation put an end to the distractions of my wandering imagination. May your constant vision of God fill my memory with His presence. May the ardent love of your Heart inflame the coldness of mine. May your virtues replace my sins. May your merits be my adornment and make up for my lack of merit before God.
Finally, my dearest Mother, grant me, if possible, to have no other spirit but yours to know Jesus and His Divine Will. To have no other soul but yours to praise and glorify the Lord. To have no other heart but yours to love God purely and fervently as you love Him. Amen.
So be it, to all that you did on Earth; so be it, to all that you are doing now in Heaven; so be it, to all that you are doing in my soul.
In this way, you, and you alone, will glorify Jesus in me throughout my entire life and for all eternity. Amen.
By Saint Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort.

CONSECRATION OF FAMILIES
Most Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, united in perfect love, look upon us with mercy and tenderness. We consecrate our hearts, our lives, and our families to You under the powerful intercession of Saint Joseph. We recognize that the beautiful example of Your home in Nazareth was a model for each of our families.
With Your help, we hope to attain the union and strong, enduring love You gave. May our home be filled with joy. May sincere affection, patience, tolerance, mutual respect, and heartfelt forgiveness be freely given to all. May our prayers include the needs of others, not just our own. And may we always remain close to the sacraments.
Bless all those present and also those who are absent, both the living and the deceased. May peace be with us, and when we are tested, grant us Christian resignation to the Will of God.
Keep our families close to Your Hearts; may Your special protection always be with us. Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, hear our prayer. Amen.
CONSECRATION TO THE CHASTE HEART OF SAINT JOSEPH
Guardian of Virgins and Holy Father Saint Joseph, to whose faithful care were entrusted Christ Jesus, Innocence itself, and Mary, Virgin of Virgins; I consecrate myself to Your honor and give myself entirely to You, so that You may always be my father, my protector, my friend, and my guide on the path of salvation.
Obtain for me great purity of heart and a fervent love for the interior life. I ask and beg that, being preserved from all impurity, I may, with a clean mind, a pure heart, and a chaste body, serve Jesus and Mary ever more chastely all the days of my life.
Following your example, may I also perform all my actions for the greater glory of the Father, in union with the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. And you, O Blessed Saint Joseph, pray for me that I may partake in the peace and joy of Your holy death and life. Amen.
From the Archconfraternity of Saint Joseph (The Girdles of Saint Joseph) and Father Olier.
CONSECRATION TO GOD THE FATHER
Beloved Father, please accept the offering of my entire being: Body, Mind, and Spirit. I praise You for Your Creation, for Your Works and Wonders. I thank You for giving me life and for everything You have done for me. I offer You everything that You have so generously granted me. With all sincerity, I repent for not knowing, loving, serving, or honoring You as I should.
At this moment, I wish to assume my inheritance as Your child, with all the joy and responsibilities that come with it. I give You my “Yes” so that You may use me as an instrument of Your Divine Will. I make the solemn promise to be faithful to You, and I ask You to grant me the grace of steadfastness and perseverance in my faith.
My dearest Father, the most Loving, Caring, and Merciful of all Fathers, in Your Divine Presence, I sincerely proclaim my love for You. I offer You my entire being and my whole family. Solemnly, I consecrate myself to You along with my loved ones now and forever.
Beloved Father, as Your child, I ask: Send Mary to lead me to Jesus, and may Jesus send me the Holy Spirit, so that They may bring me before You. May You live in me and with me – a living Temple prepared by Mary, dedicated by Jesus, and purified by the Holy Spirit. Allow me always to be in You and with You. Grant me the grace to be a true and authentic child of Yours, an intimate and faithful friend, one who loves You above all things.
And when You come to gather me at my final moment, take me to Your Home to be with You.
I also ask You, Father, for the good of humanity:
-
Have mercy on all Your children – in their Past, Present, and Future.
-
Bring peace to the world and gather all Your children around You.
-
May Your Kingdom come to us, and may Your Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Amen.
Imprimatur: Most Rev. Nicolas D’Antonio, Archbishop of New Orleans.
