Winning the heart and soul of South Africa for Mary by spreading the Fatima Message

Prayer of St Alphonsus Liguori to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

O Adorable Heart of my Jesus, Heart created expressly for the love of mankind!

Until now I have shown towards Thee only ingratitude. Pardon me, O my Jesus.

Heart of my Jesus, abyss of love and mercy, how is it possible that I do not die of sorrow when I reflect on Thy goodness to me and my ingratitude to Thee?

Thou, my Creator,having created me, has given Thy Blood and Thy life for me; and,
not content with this, Thou has invented a means of offering Thyself every day for me in the Holy Eucharist, exposing Thyself to a thousand insults and outrages.

Ah! Jesus, do Thou wound my heart with a great contrition for my sins, and a tender love for Thee.
Through Thy Tears, Thy Blood give me the grace of perseverance in Thy fervent love until I breathe my last sigh. Amen.

My Loving Jesus, in order to show the grateful love I bear Thee, and to make reparation for my unfaithfulness to grace, I [N] give Thee my heart, and I consecrate myself wholly to Thee, and with Thy help I shall try never to sin again.

(100 days indul. Pius VII, 26 June 1770)
