Daily Prayer
“Lord Jesus, remaining with me always, inspire my heart to spread your love where it is needed most of all. Amen.”
Dear Young Person,
You must never think that you are too young to be holy.
In fact, God created you holy: you are loved by God. Jesus Christ wants to make Himself known to you and He calls you to be a light in your generation.
The Sacred Heart Youth Crusade is a global movement that you can become a part of. You will contribute to a unit, which partakes in enjoyable activities, sometimes workshops for skills or creativity, sometimes in the outdoors. These also host exciting contests, and have ranks and honors which you can progress in.
Younger members may enjoy a sports tournament between other units in the state. Those in high school could benefit from an event where a professional writer helps you write a college application essay. All members can enjoy singing the anthem, living by the Youth Rule or way of life, and committing themselves to Jesus at the Initiation Ceremony.
This Youth Crusade will help you to become a smarter, more skilled, and more loving young person. You will learn more about the God who made you, and you will start to understand your unique mission in life. God made you to do something special only you can do.

The Commitment
As a Junior Knight or Lady of the Sacred Heart Youth Crusade, I will always hold Jesus Christ and His burning love in my heart.
This is a love I will desire to share with others.
Wherever there is darkness, I shall be a light. Wherever there is coldness, I shall bring a holy warmth.
As Jesus tells me, His follower, I am the light of the world. I realize that the times I live in can be hard times, times of sadness, and times where it is hard to have hope. Yet, I know that my faith will spread like a fire.
So, may Jesus bless me and give me His help.
Jesus, I trust in you.
These things I desire to do: Worship God, to pray each day, share my love and faith with others, help those who could use my gifts, build up the kingdom of God on earth, forgive and show mercy, obey my parents, guardians, and teachers, be a good friend, be a role-model to all, and always remember that Jesus is with me.
These things I will avoid: Sin, hate, darkness, greed, lying, cheating, stealing, holding anger in my heart, treating others rudely, impatience, bad language, bad jokes, bad music, bad video games, bad television shows and films, and anything else that Jesus doesn’t want me to do.
I am a Junior Knight or Lady. I am a Christian, a follower of Christ! The Sacred Heart of Jesus for the World! The World for the Sacred Heart!
With this Sacred Heart Youth Crusade, I am joining a movement with other young people from around the world. I am part of a great call to share Jesus with a world that needs Him. This is my responsibility.
I know that I am not alone. Jesus is with me and He will strengthen me for the mission he gave me. When a member of the Youth Crusade prays, their prayer can help me; on the other hand, when I pray or sacrifice for this mission, my actions can help them. We are bound together by a spiritual love.
This Youth Crusade will help me to be who God wants me to be. My contribution to this movement will also bring a great light into the world.
I love you Jesus!
Rule of Life
Love
“And thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind, and with thy whole strength. This is the first commandment. And the second is like to it: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is no other commandment greater than these.” (Mark 12:30-31)
God, His will, and His glory should be at the center of everything and all actions shall be concerned with the salvation of souls.
Prayer
“Always rejoice. Pray without ceasing. In all things give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you all.” (1 Thessalonians 5:16–18)
Study
“I will meditate on thy commandments: and I will consider thy ways. I will think of thy justifications: I will not forget thy words.” (Psalm 118(119):15–16)

Consecration Prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
“Jesus, my God and Savior, set my heart on fire with your love. Lord of my life, remaining with me always unto the end of the age, be my guide when times are dark and my warmth when I am cold. Redeem my sinful weakness and make me an evangelist of your Sacred Heart. Amen.”
