Act of Adoration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

1. The Word was made Flesh,
and dwelt amongst us.

Eternal Word, made man for love of us, humbly prostrate at
Thy feet, we adore Thee with our whole mind,
and with the most profound veneration. To make amends for
our ingratitude for so great a benefit, we unite in
sincerity
of heart with all those who love Thee, and offer Thee, our
most humble and affectionate thanksgivings.
Deeply conscious of that excess of humility, goodness, and
sweetness, which we acknowledge in the Divine Heart,
we petition Thee for Thy grace to imitate these virtues,
so pleasing to Thee.

Our Father...
Hail Mary...
Glory be to the Father...

2. He was crucified also for us,
suffered under Pontius Pilate
and was buried.

Jesus, our admirable Redeemer, humbly prostrate at Thy
feet, we adore Thee with our whole mind,
and with the most profound veneration. To testify the
grief which we feel for our past insensibility to all
the outrages
and sufferings which Thy most loving Heart made Thee
endure for our salvation, on Thy bitter Passion and
death,
we unite in sincerity of heart with all those who love
Thee, in order that we may thank Thee with our whole
soul.
We admire the infinite patience and generosity of Thy
Divine Heart, and petition Thee to replenish our
hearts with that
spirit of christian mortification which will make us
embrace sufferings courageously and fix our great
consolation
and all our glory in Thy cross.

Our Father...
Hail Mary...
Glory be to the Father...

3. Thou hast given them bread from heaven,
which abounds with all delights.

O Jesus, burning with love for us, humbly prostrate at Thy
feet, we adore Thee with our whole mind,
and with the most profound veneration. In order to make
atonement for the outrages which Thy Divine Heart daily
receives in the Most Blessed Sacrament of the Altar, we
unite in sincerity of heart with all those who love Thee,
and render Thee the most affectionate thanksgiving. We
love, in Thy Divine Heart, that intensely burning love
which Thou entertainest for Thine Eternal Father, and
humbly beseech Thee to inflame our hearts
with an ardent love of Thee and of our neighbour.

Our Father...
Hail Mary...
Glory be to the Father...

Finally, O most amiable Jesus, we beseech Thee, by the
sweetness of Thy Most Sacred Heart, to convert the
sinners,
to comfort the afflicted, to assist the agonizing, and to
afford relief to the holy souls suffering in purgatory.
Unite our hearts in the bonds of true peace and charity,
deliver us from an unforseen death,
and grant that we may die in holiness and transquility of
mind.

Amen.

V. Heart of Jesus, burning with love of us,
R. Inflame our hearts with love of Thee.

Let Us Pray. - Grant, we beseech Thee, Almighty God, that
we who glory in the Most Sacred Heart of Thy beloved
Son,
and bear in mind the exceedingly great benefits of His
charity towards us, may delight in the good conferred
on us,
and enjoy its effects, through the same Christ our Lord.

Amen.

O Divine Heart of Jesus, I adore Thee with all the powers
of my soul; I consecrate them to Thee for ever,
with all my thoughts, words, and actions, and my whole
self. I desire to adore Thee, to love Thee, and to glorify Thee,
in the same manner, as far as possible, as Thou doest
adore love and glorify Thy Eternal Fahter. Be Thou,
I beseech Thee, the Restorer of my weakness, and the
Protector of my life, my refuge,
and my asylum at the hour of my death. I conjure Thee, by
the sighs and anguish in which
Thou wert immersed for me during the whole course of Thy
mortal life, to grant me a true contrition for my sins,
a contempt of earthly things, an ardent desire of eternal
glory, confidence in Thine infinite merits,
and final perseverance in Thy grace.
O Heart of Jesus, all love, I offer Thee these humble
prayers for myself,
and for all those who unite in spirit with me in adoring
Thee. Vouchsafe, through Thine infinite goodness,
to receive and hear them; above all, for him who among us
shall first depart from this mortal life.
O amiable Heart of my Saviour, pour down upon him, in the
agony of death, Thine interior consolations;
receive him into Thy sacred Wounds; purify him from every
defilement in this furnace of love,
that Thou mayest grant him admittance into Thy glory,
where he may become intercessor, before Thy presence,
for all those who remain in this exile.

O Most Holy Heart of my dearly beloved Jesus, I desire to
renew and to offer Thee these acts of adoration,
and these prayers, every moment I breathe, to the end of
my life, for myself, a miserable sinner, and for all
who are associated with me to adore Thee. I recommend
to Thee, O my Jesus, the holy Catholic Church, Thy
beloved spouse and our true mother; also, the souls
who are undergoing Thy justice and all poor sinners,
the afflicted, the agonising, and all mankind. Do not
permit Thy Blood, poured out for them, to become
useless to them. Vouchsafe, finally, to apply it for
the relief of the souls in purgatory, and for those in
particular who, during life, were wont devoutly to
adore Thee.


O most amiable Heart of Mary, the most pure of all hearts
of creatures, and the most replete with the love of
the Heart of Jesus, at the same time most merciful
towards us, poor sinners, obtain for us, from the
Heart of our Redeemer, the graces we ask of thee.
Mother of mercy, one look from thee, one movement of
Thy Heart, burning with love for that of Jesus, thy
divine Son, can fully console us. Grant us, therefore,
this favour; and then this divine Heart of Jesus,
through the filial love which it bore, and always will
bear towards thee, shall not fail to hear and answer
our request.
