Sacred Heart of Jesus, behold us kneeling before Thee to adore Thee, to praise Thee, to thank Thee, to make reparation for our past faults and to give ourselves up to Thy love.
Mindful of Thy divine promises, we presume to say with complete confidence:Response after each phrase: Lord, Thou hast promised it.
Let us pray:
- Heart of Jesus, give us all the graces necessary for our state in life,
- Heart of Jesus, establish peace in our homes,
- Heart of Jesus, bless the homes where Thy picture is exposed and honoured,
- Heart of Jesus, ease our burdens and console us in our sorrows,
- Heart of Jesus, be our assured refuge in life and more especially at the hour of death,
- Heart of Jesus, shower down abundant blessings on all our undertakings,
- Heart of Jesus, may sinners find in Thy Heart an infinite ocean of mercy,
- Heart of Jesus, make tepid souls fervent,
- Heart of Jesus, cause fervent souls to advance rapidly to great holiness,
- Heart of Jesus, give to those working for the salvation of souls, the power of touching the most hardened hearts,
- Heart of Jesus, grant to all those who shall communicate on the first Friday, nine months consecutively, the grace of final perseverance and the Sacrament at death,
- Heart of Jesus, may Thy Kingdom come, despite Satan and the efforts of Thine enemies,
- Heart of Jesus, write in Thy Heart, never to be efface from It, the names of those who promote this devotion,
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, we place all our trust in Thee, fearing all in our weakness, hoping all things in Thy goodness; be Thou alone our love; the protector of our lives, the stay of our weakness, the strengthener in our inconstancy, the repairer of all our faults, the assurance of our salvation and our refuge at the hour of death. Amen.
