The autograph of this first Consecration is preserved in the monastery of Nevers, along with a picture of the Sacred Heart, sent by the Blessed Sister to Mere de Sondeilles, of Moulins, Sept. 15, 1686. It is beneath and on the back of the picture that we read the little prayer written by herself.

Daily Act of Oblation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

O LORD Jesus Christ, in union with that divine intention with which Thou didst on earth offer praises to God through Thy sacred Heart, and now dost continue to offer them in all places in the Sacrament of the Eucharist, and wilt do so to the end of the world, I most willingly offer Thee, throughout this entire day, without the smallest exception, all my intentions and thoughts, all my affections and desires, all my words and actions, that they may be conformed to the most sacred heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary ever immaculate.
