Yesterday, the Bishops of the United States solemnly offered the Act of Consecration of our nation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, entrusting our country to the merciful love and sovereign lordship of Christ. This act of devotion seeks His grace for the renewal of our people, the strengthening of our families, and the guidance of our nation in truth and charity.
This morning we will unite ourselves spiritually to it by praying the same Prayer of Consecration at the conclusion of today’s 9:00 AM Mass, whether you join us in person or via livestream.
We invite all parishioners to participate in this moment of prayerful intercession for our nation, our families, and our parish community.
The text of the prayer is provided below in both English and Spanish so that all may join in one voice and one faith.

O Most Sacred Heart of Jesus:
You know the longings of our hearts, and you desire that we enjoy friendship with you.
From your pierced side, you have poured out the wellspring of life, for which we thirst.
Your heart burns with a love for all people to return to a right relationship with you.
We celebrate the abundant gifts you have given this nation, founded on the self-evident truths that our Creator has endowed all people with the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
We make reparation for the offenses against you and against human dignity that have taken place in this nation.
May our hearts be united to yours, so that our families and communities enjoy peace and happiness; may broken relationships be reconciled, injustices repaired, and the wounds of our land be healed.
May your holy Catholic Church serve as a sign, pointing all people to your infinite love.
O Desire of Nations and Center of History, we ask you to bless these United States of America.
Who live and reign with God the Father
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us!

Sagrado Corazón de Jesús:
Tú conoces los anhelos de nuestro corazón y deseas que disfrutemos de tu amistad.
De tu costado traspasado has derramado el manantial de vida, del que tenemos sed.
Tu corazón arde de amor para que todas las personas vuelvan a tener una relación correcta contigo.
Celebramos los abundantes dones que has brindado a esta nación, fundada en las verdades evidentes que nuestro Creador ha dotado a todas las personas del derecho a la vida, a la libertad y a la búsqueda de la felicidad.
Ofrecemos reparación por las ofensas contra ti y contra la dignidad humana ocurridas en esta nación.
Que nuestros corazones se unan al tuyo, para que nuestras familias y comunidades gocen de paz y felicidad; que las relaciones dañadas se reconcilien, las injusticias se reparen y las heridas de nuestra tierra se sanen.
Que tu santa Iglesia católica sirva de signo, mostrando a todos tu amor infinito.
A ti, que eres el Deseo de las Naciones y el Centro de la Historia, te pedimos que bendigas a estos Estados Unidos de América.
Tú que vives y reinas con Dios Padre
en la unidad del Espíritu Santo,
Dios, por los siglos de los siglos.
Amén.
Sagrado Corazón de Jesús, ¡ten piedad de nosotros!
Inmaculado Corazón de María, ¡ruega por nosotros!
