Consecration of the Family to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

     Sacred Heart of Jesus, You made clear to Saint Margaret Mary Your desire of being King of Catholic families. My family and I today wish to proclaim Your most complete Kingship over me, my family and our home. My family and I want to live with You now and in the next life.  My family and I would like virtues and peace to flourish in ourselves, in our homes and in the world which You, Sacred Heart of Jesus, can make manifest. My family and I would like You Jesus to always banish any evil far from us and from our homes. Sacred Heart of Jesus, You shall be King over me, my family, over our minds, bodies and spirits in the simplicity of our faith, and over our hearts by the wholehearted love my family and I have for You.  I  hope that You allow us receive You frequently in the reception of the Eucharist. Be so kind, O Sacred Heart of Jesus, to please be present with my family and I during Catholic and family gatherings, bless my family and my enterprises, both spiritual and temporal, bless and protect us and our homes, dispel our cares, sanctify us and our joys, and alleviate all our sufferings.
     If ever one or other of us should have the misfortune to sin against You, remind my family and I, O Heart of Jesus, that You are good and merciful to my family and I. And when the hour of my family and my death arrives, or when death shall come to cast mourning into my family and my midst, we will all, both those who go and those who stay, be submissive to Your eternal decrees.  My family and I shall console ourselves with the thought that a day will come when my entire family, reunited in Heaven, can sing forever Your glories and Your mercies. May the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the glorious patriarch Saint Joseph present this consecration to You, and keep it in my family and my minds all the days of our lives.  All glory to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, our King and our God!  Amen
