Prayer of Consecration To The Sacred Heart of Jesus
Pope Leo XIII composed this prayer in 1899 and included it in his 1899 encyclical Annum Sacrum which consecrated the entire world to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The consecration was motivated by letters sent to the Pontiff by a Good Shepherd nun, Mary of the Divine Heart, who stated that in a vision of Jesus Christ she had been told to request the consecration.
