We are celebrating the 350th anniversary of the apparitions of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Pope Francis dedicate a three-year jubilee to this devotion, from December 2023 to June 2025.

- This is the ACT OF CONSECRATION TO THE SACRED HEART, by St. Claude de la Colombière:
“My adorable Redeemer, I give and consecrate myself totally to Thy Sacred Heart in the fullest and most complete way of which I am capable. Nail me to Thy Cross by my Baptismal Promises, by the duties of my state of life and by my resolution to serve Thee always. I renew all these before heaven and earth in Thy Sacred Heart. Thy holy service is for me an easy yoke and its bonds do not burden me. Moreover, I would desire to fasten even more closely its tight knots. Therefore, I embrace the beloved cross of my vocation even unto death. It shall be all my delight, my pleasure, my glory. God forbid that I should glory, save in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world is crucified to me, and I to the world. Thy poverty shall be my treasure; Thy sufferings my delight; Thy Person, my only love. I will never abandon Thee, my Savior; I will unite myself intimately with Thee. I do not fear the narrow path of holiness, because Thou art my light and my strength. I hope, therefore, O my Lord, that Thou will make me firm to resist all temptations and that Thou will make me victorious over all the enemies of my soul. Continue to stretch out Thy hand over me, and to bestow Thy favors upon me. By Thy Blood, by Thy Wounds and by Thy Sacred Heart, I implore Thee, O adorable Jesus, by this act of consecration grant that I may become a new creation of Thy love. Amen.”

The Commandments (or the Decalogue) were given by God to Moses on Mount Sinai (Exodus 24). We can read about this in the book of Exodus and Deuteronomy.
