Thou hast given me all I have, and I surrender all to thy Divine will, that thou mayest dispose of me as it shall please thee. Give me only thy love and thy grace, and I shall be happy, and shall have no more to ask! JESUS CRUCIFIED. COME and mourn with me awhile; Have we no tears to shed for Him, While soldiers scoff and Jews deride? Ah! look how patiently He hangs; How fast His hands and feet are nailed, His Mother cannot reach His face, Seven times He spoke, seven words of love, Jesus, our Love, is crucified! What was Thy crime, my dearest Lord? DEVOTIONS TO THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS. 10 THE ACT OF CONSECRATION. To Heart devote and offer up my life, thoughts, words, actions, pains, and sufferings. May the least part of my being be no longer employed, save only in loving, serving, honouring, and glorify. ing thee. Wherefore, O most sacred Heart! be thou the sole object of my love, the protector of my life, the pledge of my salvation, and my secure refuge at the hour of my death. Be thou, O most bountiful Heart! my justification at the throne of God, and screen me from his anger, which I have so justly merited. In thee I place all my confidence, and, convinced as I am of my own weakness, I rely entirely on thy bounty. Annihilate in me all that is displeasing and offensive to thy pure eye. Imprint thyself like a divine seal on my heart, that I may ever remember my obligations never to be separated from thee. May my name also, I beseech thee by thy tender bounty, ever be fixed and engraved in thee, O Book of Life! and may I ever be a victim consecrated to thy glory, ever burning with the flames of thy pure love, and entirely penetrated with it for an eternity. In this I place all my happiness, this is all my desire, to live and die in no other quality, but that of thy devoted servant. Amen. LITANY OF THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS. LORD, have mercy on us.
