| Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, Save Us! |
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, animated with a desire to repair
the outrages unceasingly offered to Thee, we prostrate before Thy Throne of
mercy, and in the name of all mankind, pledge our love and fidelity to Thee!
The more Thy mysteries are blasphemed, the more firmly we
shall believe them, O Sacred Heart of Jesus!
The more impiety endeavors to extinguish our hopes of
immortality, the more we shall trust in Thy Heart, sole hope of mankind!
The more hearts resist Thy Divine attractions the more we
shall trust in Thy Heart, sole hope of mankind!
The more unbelief attacks Thy Divinity, the more humbly and profoundly
we shall adore It, O Divine Heart of Jesus!
The more Thy holy laws are transgressed and ignored, the
more we shall delight to observe them, O most holy Heart of Jesus!
The more Thy Sacraments are despised and abandoned, the more
frequently we shall receive them with love and reverence, O most liberal Heart
of Jesus!
The more the imitation of Thy virtues is neglected and
forgotten, the more we shall endeavor to practice them, O Heart, model of every
virtue!
The more the devil labors to destroy souls, the more we
shall be inflamed with desire to save them, O Heart of Jesus, zealous Lover of
souls!
The more sin and impurity destroy the image of God in man,
the more we shall try by purity of life to be a living temple of the Holy
Spirit, O Heart of Jesus!
The more Thy Holy Church is despised, the more we shall
endeavor to be her faithful children, O Sweet Heart of Jesus!
The more Thy Vicar on earth is persecuted, the more will we
honor him as the infallible head of Thy Holy Church, show our fidelity and pray
for him, O kingly Heart of Jesus!
O Sacred Heart, through Thy powerful grace, may we become
Thy apostles in the midst of a corrupted world, and be Thy crown in the kingdom
of heaven.
Amen.
