As we begin this powerful nine-day journey together, we turn to the Sacred Heart of Jesus — a Heart burning with love for every one of us.
Today we pray for the grace to experience Christ’s personal love and to learn from His Heart how to show compassion to the world.
Day 1 of the National Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
June 3 — Heart of Jesus, aflame with love for us -
Lord, I come to Your tender Heart today, to You who
have words that set my heart ablaze, to You who pour
out compassion on the little ones and the poor, on
those who suffer, and on all human miseries.
I desire to know You more, to contemplate You in the
Gospel, to be with You and learn from You and from
the charity with which You allowed Yourself to be
touched by all forms of poverty.
You showed us the Father’s love by loving us without
measure with Your divine and human Heart.
Grant all Your children the grace of encountering You.
Change, shape, and transform our plans, so that we
seek only You in every circumstance: in prayer, in
work, in encounters, and in our daily routine.
From this encounter, send us out on mission, a
mission of compassion for the world in which You are
the source from which all consolation flows.
Amen.
Will you pray with us today? Drop a in the comments if you’re joining the novena!
We’ll be back tomorrow with Day 2. Let’s prepare our hearts together for the historic consecration of our nation on June 11.
