Novena to the Sacred Heart: begins on Thursday 4th June and concludes Friday 12th, feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Novena Prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
O Divine Jesus, who said,
“Ask and you shall receive”,
I kneel at your feet.
From whom shall I ask if not from you,
whose heart is the source of all blessings.
With a lively faith in you, I come to ask…

Share your petitions silently with the Sacred Heart.

I admit I am most unworthy of your favours, Jesus,
but this is not a reason for me to be discouraged.
You are the God of mercies
and you will not refuse a contrite heart.
Look with pity on me,
I beg you, and your compassionate Heart
will find in my weakness a motive for granting my request.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on me. Amen.
