Acts of Consecration

[RedDuke50]

When you pray an act of consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus or something like that, is it something that is for life? Maybe what what I am asking is what exactly is an act of consecration doing? Must you pray to whoever you consecrated yourself to every day or something?
Thank you

I think that there is not formula.
You consecrate what you want to consecrate, when you want to consecrate for how long you want to consecrate.
If you see religious orders, there are many types of vows…

Well if you consecrate an object, it’s for the use you consecrate it for. For instance, if you consecrate a chalice for the body and blood of Christ… you do it forever… it’s not for the body and blood on Sunday, and then for kool-aide on Tuesday. It’s only for use for the Body and Blood.

The same should apply to you if you consecrate yourself to something… you are that ‘somethings’ everyday of the week, every second etc… So you would indeed pray it over and over, because you belong to his sacred heart etc. (At least until you feel you no longer want to be consecrated.)
