Mindful, alas, that we ourselves have had a share in such great indignities, which we now deplore from the depths of our hearts, we hum- bly ask Thy pardon and declare our readiness to atone by voluntary expiation not only for our own personal offences, but also for the sins of those who, straying far from the path of salvation, refuse in their obstinate infidelity to follow Thee, their Shepherd and Leader, or, renouncing the vows of their Baptism, have cast off the sweet yoke of Thy law. We are now resolved to expiate each and every deplorable outrage committed against Thee; we are determined to make amends for the manifold offences against Christian modesty in unbecoming dress and behavior, for all the foul seductions laid to ensnare the feet of the innocent, for the frequent violations of Sundays and holydays, and the shocking blas- phemies uttered against Thee and Thy Saints. * Read on Feast of the Sacred Heart. 11 We wish also to make amends for the insults to which Thy Vicar on earth and Thy priests are subjected, for the profanation, by con- scious neglect or terrible acts of sacrilege, of the very Sacrament of Thy Divine love; and lastly for the public crimes of nations, who resist the rights and the teaching authority of the Church which Thou hast founded. Would, 0 Divine Jesus, we were able to wash away such abominations with our blood! We now offer, in reparation for these violations of Thy Divine honor, the satisfaction Thou didst once make to Thy eternal Father on the Cross and which Thou dost continue to renew daily on our altars; we offer it in union with the acts of atonement of Thy Virgin Mother and all the Saints and of the pious Faithful on earth; and we sincerely promise to make recompense, as far as we can with the help of Thy grace, for all neglect of Thy great love and for the sins we and others have committed in the past. Henceforth we will live a life of unwavering faith, of purity of conduct, of perfect observ- ance of the precepts of the Gospel and espe- cially that of charity. We promise to the best of our power to prevent others from offending Thee and to bring as many as possible to fol- low Thee. 0 loving Jesus, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, our model in repara- tion, deign to receive the voluntary offering we make of this act of expiation; and by the crowning gift of perseverance keep us faithful tmto death in our duty and the allegiance we owe to Thee, so that we may all one day come to that happy home, where Thou with the Father and the Holy Ghost livest and reignest God, world without end.

We would live in future with Thy life, we would cause to flourish in our midst those virtues to which Thou hast promised peace here below, we would banish far from us the spirit of the world which Thou hast cursed ; and Thou shalt reign, over our minds in the simplicity of faith, and over our hearts by the whole-hearted love with which they shall burn for Thee, the flame of which we shall keep alive by the frequent reception of Thy Divine Eucharist. Deign, 0 Divine Heart, to preside over our assemblings, to bless our enterprises, both spiritual and temporal, to dispel our cares, to sanctify our joys, to alleviate our sufferings. If ever one or other of us should have the misfortune to afflict Thee, remind him, 0 Heart of Jesus, that Thou art good and merciful to the penitent sin- ner. And when the hour of separation strikes, when death shall come to cast mourning into our midst, we will all, both those who go and those who stay, be sub- missive to Thy eternal decrees. We will consol ourselves with the thought that a 15 day will come when the entire family, re- united in Heaven, can sing forever Thy glories and Thy mercies. May the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and the glorious Patriarch, St. Joseph, present this consecration to Thee, and keep it in our minds all the days of our life.
