Act of Adoration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

1. The Word was made Flesh,

and dwelt among us.

Eternal Word, made man for love of us, humbly prostrate at 

Thy feet, we adore Thee with our whole mind, 

and with the most profound veneration. To make amends for 

our ingratitude for so great a benefit, we unite in 

sincerity 

of heart with all those who love Thee, and offer Thee, our 

most humble and affectionate thanksgivings. 

Deeply conscious of that excess of humility, goodness, and 

sweetness, which we acknowledge in the Divine Heart, 

we petition Thee for Thy grace to imitate these virtues, 

so pleasing to Thee.

Our Father...

Hail Mary...

Glory be to the Father...

2. He was crucified also for us,

suffered under Pontius Pilate

and was buried.

Jesus, our admirable Redeemer, humbly prostrate at Thy 

feet, we adore Thee with our whole mind, 

and with the most profound veneration. To testify the 

grief which we feel for our past insensibility to all 

the outrages 

and sufferings which Thy most loving Heart made Thee 

endure for our salvation, on Thy bitter Passion and 

death, 

we unite in sincerity of heart with all those who love 

Thee, in order that we may thank Thee with our whole 

soul.

We admire the infinite patience and generosity of Thy 

Divine Heart, and petition Thee to replenish our 

hearts with that 

spirit of christian mortification which will make us 

embrace sufferings courageously and fix our great 

consolation 

and all our glory in Thy cross.

Our Father...

Hail Mary...

Glory be to the Father...

3. Thou hast given them bread from heaven,

which abounds with all delights.

O Jesus, burning with love for us, humbly prostrate at Thy 

feet, we adore Thee with our whole mind, 

and with the most profound veneration. In order to make 

atonement for the outrages which Thy Divine Heart daily 

receives in the Most Blessed Sacrament of the Altar, we 

unite in sincerity of heart with all those who love Thee, 

and render Thee the most affectionate thanksgiving. We 

love, in Thy Divine Heart, that intensely burning love 

which Thou entertain for Thine Eternal Father, and 

humbly beseech Thee to inflame our hearts 

with an ardent love of Thee and of our neighbor.

Our Father...

Hail Mary...

Glory be to the Father...

Finally, O most amiable Jesus, we beseech Thee, by the 

sweetness of Thy Most Sacred Heart, to convert the 

sinners, 

to comfort the afflicted, to assist the agonizing, and to 

afford relief to the holy souls suffering in purgatory. 

Unite our hearts in the bonds of true peace and charity, 

deliver us from an unseen death, 

and grant that we may die in holiness and tranquility of 

mind.

Amen.

V. Heart of Jesus, burning with love of us,

R. Inflame our hearts with love of Thee.

Let Us Pray. - Grant, we beseech Thee, Almighty God, that 

we who glory in the Most Sacred Heart of Thy beloved 

Son,

and bear in mind the exceedingly great benefits of His 

charity towards us, may delight in the good conferred 

on us, 

and enjoy its effects, through the same Christ our Lord.

Amen.

O Divine Heart of Jesus, I adore Thee with all the powers 

of my soul; I consecrate them to Thee for ever, 

with all my thoughts, words, and actions, and my whole 

self. I desire to adore Thee, to love Thee, and to glorify Thee, 

in the same manner, as far as possible, as Thou does 

adore love and glorify Thy Eternal Father. Be Thou, 

I beseech Thee, the Restorer of my weakness, and the 

Protector of my life, my refuge, 

and my asylum at the hour of my death. I conjure Thee, by 

the sighs and anguish in which 

Thou were immersed for me during the whole course of Thy 

mortal life, to grant me a true contrition for my sins,

a contempt of earthly things, an ardent desire of eternal 

glory, confidence in Thine infinite merits, 

and final perseverance in Thy grace.

O Heart of Jesus, all love, I offer Thee these humble 

prayers for myself, 

and for all those who unite in spirit with me in adoring 

Thee. Vouchsafe, through Thine infinite goodness, 

to receive and hear them; above all, for him who among us 

shall first depart from this mortal life. 

O amiable Heart of my Savior, pour down upon him, in the 

agony of death, Thine interior consolations; 

receive him into Thy sacred Wounds; purify him from every 

defilement in this furnace of love, 

that Thou may grant him admittance into Thy glory, 

where he may become intercessor, before Thy presence, 

for all those who remain in this exile.

O Most Holy Heart of my dearly beloved Jesus, I desire to 

renew and to offer Thee these acts of adoration, 

and these prayers, every moment I breathe, to the end of 

my life, for myself, a miserable sinner, and for all 

who are associated with me to adore Thee. I recommend 

to Thee, O my Jesus, the holy Catholic Church, Thy 

beloved spouse and our true mother; also, the souls 

who are undergoing Thy justice and all poor sinners, 

the afflicted, the agony, and all mankind. Do not 

permit Thy Blood, poured out for them, to become 

useless to them. Vouchsafe, finally, to apply it for 

the relief of the souls in purgatory, and for those in 

particular who, during life, were wont devoutly to 

adore Thee.

O most amiable Heart of Mary, the most pure of all hearts 

of creatures, and the most replete with the love of 

the Heart of Jesus, at the same time most merciful 

towards us, poor sinners, obtain for us, from the 

Heart of our Redeemer, the graces we ask of thee. 

Mother of mercy, one look from thee, one movement of 

Thy Heart, burning with love for that of Jesus, thy 

divine Son, can fully console us. Grant us, therefore, 

this favor; and then this divine Heart of Jesus, 

through the filial love which it bore, and always will 

bear towards thee, shall not fail to hear and answer 

our request.
