June 2, 1851, the entire Bentivoglio family dedicated themselves to the Sacred Heart. The Act of Consecration made by the Bentivoglio family ends thus:
Receive us all under thy most powerful protection and do not allow that any one of us leave the road that leads to thee. O Mary, be our Mother. Enclose us all within the Sacred Heart of thy Divine Son, Jesus, that we may live and die there, that we may find ourselves all together in heaven, there through all eternity to sing thy mercy and the mercy of thy Holy Son.
