O Jesus, Saviour of mankind, Thou hast mercifully revealed to us the wonderful riches of Thy Heart; in thanksgiving for Thy benefits, especially for the institution of the Holy Eucharist, in reparation for the offenses against the Blessed Sacrament, in union with Thy Mediation in heaven for us, poor sinners, I consecrate myself entirely to Thee, for the glory of God and the salvation of souls. I promise to aid in spreading the worship and in promoting the interests of Thy sacred Heart.
I choose, moreover, the Blessed Virgin Mary for my Queen, my Advocate, and my Mother, and I am resolved to imitate her virtues, in particular her love for sinners, and to foster and promote devotion to her Immaculate Conception. I beseech Thee, O Lord, to accept this promise. Thou hast inspired me to make it; grant me the grace to fulfil it. Amen.
Sweet Heart of Jesus, be my love! Sweet Heart of Mary, be my salvation!
