The Sacred Heart of Jesus Devotion

Prayer to the Sacred Heart

by Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque

Lord Jesus, let my heart never rest until it finds You, who are its center, its love, and its happiness.
By the wound in Your heart pardon the sins that I have committed whether out of malice or out of evil desires.
Place my weak heart in Your own divine Heart, continually under Your protection and guidance, so that I may persevere in doing good and in fleeing evil until my last breath. Amen

An Offering to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

O divine Heart of Jesus, grant, I beseech Thee, eternal rest to the souls in purgatory, final grace to all who are to die today, true repentance to sinners, the light of faith to pagans, Thy blessing to me and to all who are mine.
To Thee, O most loving Heart of Jesus, do I therefore commend all these souls, and for them I offer all Thy merits, together with the merits of the most Blessed Mother and of all the saints and angels, and also together with all the Sacrifices of the Mass, the Holy Communions, the prayers and good works that are made today throughout the entire Christian world. Amen.

A Solemn Act of Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

by Saint Margaret Mary Allocate

I give myself and consecrate to the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ, my person and my life, my actions, pains and sufferings, so that I may be unwilling to make use of any part of my being other than to honor, love and glorify the Sacred Heart. This is my unchanging purpose, namely, to be all His, and to do all things for the love of Him, and the same time renouncing with all my heart whatever is displeasing to Him.
I therefore take You, O Sacred heart, to be the only object of my love, the guardian of my life, my assurance of salvation, the remedy of my weakness and inconstancy, the atonement for all the faults of my life and my sure refuge at the hour of death.
Be then, O Heart of goodness, my justification before God the Father, and turn away from me the strokes of his righteous anger.

O Heart of love. I put all my confidence in You, for I fear everything from my own wickedness and frailty, but I hope for all things from Your goodness and bounty. Remove from me all that can displease You or resist Your holy will; let Your pure love imprint Your image so deeply upon my heart, that I shall never be able to forget You or to be separated from You.

May I obtain from all Your loving kindness the grace of having my name written in Your Heart, for in You I desire to place all my happiness and glory, living and dying in bondage to You. Amen.

Novena to the Two Hearts

Oh hearts, divine, so entwined;
I pray to Thee to make me thine;
I pray to thee and I enfold
into Thy Hearts my earthly plea.
I ask Thee, Sweet Heart of Mary and
Sweet Heart of Jesus
To hear my plea
So that I may proclaim Thy greatness to
this world of naught;
To this world who scoffs at all thy wonders
and continues to make such blunders;
Oh Sweet Heart of Jesus and Sweet Heart of Mary,
I place all my pleas under Thy great care;
I wait patiently by Thy sides, in all humility
devoid of pride. Amen.

Then say one Our Father, one Hail Mary and one Glory-Be
Say this Novena for 9 days, preferably prior to the Feast of the Two Hearts. Great graces will pour into you souls from Our Two Hearts. (As told to Josephine-Maria on August 27th 1993)
