PARTIAL OR PLENARY INDULGENCE FOR CHRIST THE KING.
A partial indulgence is granted to the
faithful, who piously recite the Act of Dedication of the Human Race to Jesus
Christ King. A plenary indulgence is granted, if it is recited
publicly on the feast of our Lord Jesus Christ King.
Most sweet Jesus, Redeemer of the human race, look
down upon us humbly prostrate before you. We are yours, and yours we wish to
be; but to be more surely united with you, behold each one of us freely
consecrates himself today to your Most Sacred Heart. Many indeed have never
known you; many, too, despising your precepts, have rejected you. Have mercy on
them all, most merciful Jesus, and draw them to your Sacred Heart.
Be King, O
Lord, not only of the faithful who have never forsaken you, but also of the prodigal
children who have abandoned you; grant that they may quickly return to their
Father's house, lest they die of wretchedness and hunger. Be King of those who
are deceived by erroneous opinions, or whom discord keeps aloof, and call them
back to the harbor of truth and the unity of faith, so that soon there may be
but one flock and one Shepherd.
Grant, O Lord, to your Church assurance of
freedom and immunity from harm; give tranquility of order to all nations; make
the earth resound from pole to pole with one cry: Praise to the divine Heart
that wrought our salvation; to it be glory and honor for ever. Amen.
