SACRED HEART NOVENA - DAY 6 - The call to trust. 'When Peter saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, he cried out, "Lord, save me." Jesus immediately reached out his hand and caught him, saying to him, "O man of little faith, why did you doubt?"' Lord, give me the courage and faith to carry on, knowing that you never stop loving me. Help me to see that with you I can do everything that your call asks of me. O Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in thee.

SACRED HEART NOVENA - DAY 4 - Jesus the Compassionate Friend. 'And a l***r came to him, beseeching him, "Lord, if you will, you can make me clean." Moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him saying, "I will, be clean". And immediately the leprosy left him. Lord, you always looked on everyone with deep compassion, and just being in your presence brings a healing of body and mind. Help us in our days to be your eyes, which look with compassion on others. O Sacred Heart of Jesus I place all my trust in thee.

SACRED HEART NOVENA - Day 1 - Jesus the patient friend. "Behold I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to them and eat with them and they with me".

Help us to hear that persistent knocking and to open ourselves to you. O Sacred Heart of Jesus I place all my trust in thee.
