Dedication to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ have mercy on us…

As we know, my dear brothers and sisters, this month (June) is specially dedicated to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus—Friday 27th is the Feast Day. On that day at 12 noon we will dedicate our homes to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. We will pray the dedication prayers to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus at home as well as in our church right before the Holy Mass on Friday. We shall offer all our houses and families and our Parish to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus that day. Please remember that His Heart is the most powerful Heart to accept us always under any conditions and circumstances of our life. Because He is full of mercy, love and compassion, He will never abandon us.

Dedication to the Most Secret Heart of Jesus

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, now we gather before You to dedicate each one of us to You. We believe and proclaim that You are the King and Master of our homes and our Parish. We dedicate all those who are living in this Parish/home. Whenever they go out and come in, You keep them safe in Your hands. Protect them from all the dangers of the world. Protect them from sudden death and from all the natural and unnatural calamities. Keep our hearts always clean and pure. Lead us not into temptation. If anybody has been in the state of sin, give him the chance to repent and come back to you as soon as possible. Please show mercy and love towards us always and at every time. May all those who have passed away from this family enjoy Your everlasting life in Heaven. Give us also the chance to be with You in Heaven after our life here on earth. All these prayers and dedications are lifted up to You, through the Most Holy Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
