Alliance of the Two Hearts


An Act of Consecration
to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus
and the Immaculate Heart of Mary


Most Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary,
we consecrate ourselves and our whole family to You.
We consecrate to You:
our very being and our whole life...
All that we are...
All that we have...
and all that we love.

To You we give our body, our heart, and our soul.
To You  we dedicate our home and our country.
Mindful of this consecration,
we now promise You to live a Christian way of life
by the practice of virtues.

O Most Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary,
accept this act of consecration,
which I make out of pure love for You.

Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us!
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!
Jesus, meek and humble of heart,
make our hearts like unto Your merciful heart!

Amen!
