English: Holy Heart (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, animated with a desire to repair the
outrage 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
love Thee, O infinitely amiable Heart of Jesus!
The more unbelief attacks Thy Divinity, the more humbly and
profoundly we shall adore It, O Divine Heart of Jesus!
The more Thy Sacraments are despised and abandoned, the more
frequently we shall receive them with love and reverence, O most generous Heart of Jesus!
The more the imitation of Thy virtues is neglected and forgotten, themore 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 endeavour to be her faithful children, O Sweet Heart of Jesus!
The more Thy Vicar on earth is persecuted, the more we shall honour 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.
St. Mary, Our Lady of Victories & St. Patrick's.
