7.Petition Prayers
(a) O Sacred Heart of Jesus, I fly, I come to Thee, throwing myself into the arms of Thy tender mercy. Thou art my sure refuge, my unfailing and only hope. Thou has a remedy for all my evils, relief for all my miseries, reparation for all my faults, Thou canst supply for what is wanting in me in order to obtain fully the graces that I ask for myself and others. Thou art for me, and for us all, the infallible, inexhaustible source of light, of strength, of perseverance, peace and consolation. I am certain that my importunity will never weary Thee; certain, too, that Thou wilt never cease to aid, to protect, to love me, because Thy love for me, O Divine Heart, is infinite.
Have mercy on me then, O Heart of Jesus, and on all that I recommend to Thee, according to Thy own mercy, and do with us, for us, and in us, whatsoever Thou will, for we abandon ourselves to Thee with the full, entire confidence and conviction that Thou will never abandon us either in time or eternity. Amen.
(b) O Sacred Heart of Jesus, we know that there is but one thing impossible to Thee, to be without pity for those who are suffering or in distress. Look down, we beseech Thee, on us, and grant us the grace which we humbly, and earnestly implore Thee, through the Immaculate Heart of Thy sorrowful Mother to whom Thou did confide us as her children, and whose prayers are all powerful with Thee. Amen.
8.Consecration Prayer
O most sweet Jesus, Redeemer of mankind, behold us prostrate most humbly before Thy altar.
To Thee we belong; Thine we wish to be; and, that we may be united to Thee most closely, we dedicate ourselves each one of us today to Thy most Sacred Heart. Many have never known Thee, many, despising Thy commands, have rejected Thee. Have pity on them, most merciful Jesus, and draw all men to Thy Sacred Heart. Rule, O Lord, not only over the faithful who never have gone away from Thee, but also of the prodigal children who have abandoned Thee, and make them return quickly to their Father's house, lest they perish of misery and hunger. Rule over those who have been misled by errror, or separated by schism, and call them back to the haven of truth and the unity of faith, so that there may be soon be one fold and one Shepherd.
Lastly, rule over all who are sunk in the old superstition of the Gentiles, and vouchsafe to bring them out of darkness into the light and kingdom of God. Give to Thy Church, O Lord, safety and sure liberty; give to all nations peace and order; and grant that, over the whole earth from pole to pole, may resound the words, "Praise be to the Divine Heart through which was brought to us salvation, glory and hanour be it for ever." Amen.
(A partial indulgence is granted to the faithful who piously recite this Act of Consecration of the Human Race to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. A plenary indulgence is granted if it is recited publicly on the feast of Our Lord Jesus Christ the King.)
9.Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of the faithful departed through the Divine Mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
To Jesus' Heart, all burning, With fervent love for men, My heart with yondest yearning, Shall raise the joyful strain.
Chorus:-
While ages course along, Blest be with loudest song, The Sacred Heart of Jesus, By every heart and tongue, The Sacred Heart of Jesus, By every heart and tongue.
O Heart for me on fire, With love no man can speak, My yet untold desire, God gives me for Thy sake.
In Tamil: இயேசுவின் இருதயமே -என்றும் எரிந்திடும் அருள்மயமே-உந்தன் ஆசியும் அருளூம் சேர்ந்து வந்தால்-எங்கள் ஆனந்தம் நிலைபெறுமே
இறைவனுக் கிதயமுண்டு-அந்த இதயத்தில் இரக்கமுண்டு-என்றும் இரங்கிடும் இறைவன் இருப்பதனால்-எங்கள் அனைவருக்கும் வாழ்வு உண்டு
பாவிக்குப் பொறுத்தலுண்டு-அந்த பரலோக வாழ்வு உண்டு-நாங்கள் கூவிடும் குரலை கேட்பதற்கு-இந்த கோயிலில் தெய்வம் உண்டு
