Act of Consecration to the Sacred Heart
Author: St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

O Sacred Heart of Jesus, to Thee I consecrate and offer up my person and my life, my actions, trials, and sufferings, that my entire being may henceforth only be employed in loving, honoring and glorifying Thee. This is my irrevocable will, to belong entirely to Thee, and to do all for Thy love, renouncing with my whole heart all that can displease Thee.

I take Thee, O Sacred Heart, for the sole object of my love, the protection of my life, the pledge of my salvation, the remedy of my frailty and inconstancy, the reparation for all the defects of my life, and my secure refuge at the hour of my death. Be Thou, O Most Merciful Heart, my justification before God Thy Father, and screen me from His anger which I have so justly merited. I fear all from my own weakness and malice, but placing my entire confidence in Thee, O Heart of Love, I hope all from Thine infinite Goodness. Annihilate in me all that can displease or resist Thee. Imprint Thy pure love so deeply in my heart that I may never forget Thee or be separated from Thee.
I beseech Thee, through Thine infinite Goodness, grant that my name be engraved upon Thy Heart, for in this I place all my happiness and all my glory, to live and to die as one of Thy devoted servants.

Amen.
-- St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

Marking a milestone! This is prayer shawl 1000 made by Yolanda!!!!

CELEBRATING 1000 PRAYER SHAWLS!

The Prayer Shawl Ministry is celebrating 11 years together. In May we marked the milestone of 1000 shawls created with prayers for our parishioners and community. They are made for comfort, peace, healing, and as a gesture of prayerful support. Shawls, lap blankets, and baby/children’s blankets are available in the church vestibule and parish office. We’ve also donated shawls to St. Mary’s Hospital Spiritual Care for patients, visitors, and staff. We are grateful for your financial support through OLOL Cafe Sundays and donations. New members are welcome in September 2026. For more info contact Marg 519-886-8258 or Shelly 519-500-1531
