(This act of consecration is said on the feast of Christ the King).

Very sweet Jesus,
Redeemer of mankind,
take a look at us,
who are humbly prostrated before your altar.
We are yours,
we want to be yours;
and so that we can be more firmly united,
here is that on this day,
each of us spontaneously dedicates himself to your Sacred Heart.

Many have never known you;
many have despised your commandments and have denied you.
Merciful Jesus,
have mercy on one another,
and return them all to your Sacred Heart.

Lord, be the king,
not only the faithful who
have never strayed from you,
but also prodigal children who have abandoned you;
so that they will soon return to their father's house,
so that they do not perish of misery and hunger.

Be the king of those who live in error
or that discord has separated from you;
bring them back to the harbor of truth and to the unity of faith,
so that soon he will have only one flock
and a shepherd's salt.

Grant, Lord,
to your Church,
secure and unfettered freedom;
grant all peoples order and peace;
do that from one side of the world to the other,
a single voice resounds:
"Praise be to the divine heart who bought us salvation,
to him glory and honor in all ages. "

Amen.

(Leo XIII, June 11, 1899; modified by Pius XI,
October 17, 1925. - Act to be recited on the 1st Friday
of the month and for the feast of Christ the King.)

Jesus

Jesus Christ is a central figure in Christianity. He is regarded as the incarnation of God.

The historical existence of Jesus is attested by archaeological research and by the accounts of Roman historians (Flavius Josephus, Tacitus, Suetonius).

At about the age of thirty, Jesus left Nazareth and began an itinerant public life. He calls his disciples and walks with them through Judea and Galilee. He teaches, he heals the sick, casts out demons, walks on water, forgives sins, raises the dead. He is attentive to children. He shares meals, a wedding party, pilgrimages to Jerusalem. He lives as a Jewish believer, goes to the synagogue, observes the Sabbath. He weeps, gets angry, experiences sadness, fatigue and thirst, compassion and even anguish. Jesus is known for his natural authority.

With all the miracles he performed, Jesus is the one to whom prayers should be addressed no matter what difficulties one faces.

Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost is the third person of the Trinity. His action is in perfect unity with the Father (GOD) and the Son (Jesus Christ). When we are in a state where we deserve to receive Him, He enlightens us, guides us, protects us from all dangers (spiritual and physical).

In the Bible, several symbols are used to designate the Holy Spirit: breath that makes you breathe; wind that pushes you out; oil that gives strength to athletes; fire that warms and purifies; dove that descends from heaven.

We can pray to the Holy Spirit to implore his gifts which are :

Wisdom: it makes us taste the presence of God, in a greater companionship with him, and a greater missionary dynamism. It is the contemplative gift par excellence.
Intelligence: it helps us to enter into the mystery of God, to understand the faith and the Scriptures from within, and to distinguish error from truth. Through this gift, every Christian can become an authentic theologian.
Science: it allows us to recognise God at work in nature and in history, to receive the world as a gift from God. It gives a sense of the precariousness of the universe.
Strength: it gives perseverance in times of trial, the courage to bear witness. It supports the martyrs, but also helps in the day-to-day fulfilment of one's duties as a state and in the spiritual struggle. It is the heroism of lowliness.
Counsel: this is the gift of spiritual discernment. It adjusts what to do or avoid, to say or not to say. It enables us to see clearly in ourselves and in others.
Piety: it allows us to experience God's fatherhood, his closeness, his tenderness. It gives us the confidence of a child. It also brings us close to others.
Fear: this is not the fear of God but the sense of his greatness. Awareness of the infinite distance between the Almighty and us, his creatures. This gift gives rise to an attitude of humility and wonder.
