Prayers: Act of Dedication of the Human Race to Jesus Christ King
Act of
Dedication of the Human Race to Jesus Christ King.
A partial indulgence is granted to
the faithful, who piously recite the Act of Dedication of the Human Race to
Jesus Christ King. A plenary indulgence is granted, if it is recited publicly
on the feast of our Lord Jesus Christ King.
Most sweet
Jesus, Redeemer of the human race, look down upon us humbly prostrate before
you. We are yours, and yours we wish to be; but to be more surely united with
you, behold each one of us freely consecrates himself today to your Most Sacred
Heart. Many indeed have never known you; many, too, despising your precepts,
have rejected you. Have mercy on them all, most merciful Jesus, and draw them
to your Sacred Heart. Be King, O Lord, not only of the faithful who have never
forsaken you, but also of the prodigal children who have abandoned you; grant
that they may quickly return to their Father's house, lest they die of
wretchedness and hunger. Be King of those who are deceived by erroneous
opinions, or whom discord keeps aloof, and call them back to the harbor of
truth and the unity of faith, so that soon there may be but one flock and one
Shepherd. Grant, O Lord, to your Church assurance of freedom and immunity from
harm; give tranquility of order to all nations; make the earth resound from
pole to pole with one cry: Praise to the divine Heart that wrought our
salvation; to it be glory and honor for ever. Amen.
