Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Traditionally the nine days prior to the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart

Nine days resting in the Heart of Jesus — the novena St. Margaret Mary asked us to pray, with the prayer she said was never refused.

Daily Prayer

Prayed each of the nine days

O most holy Heart of Jesus, fountain of every blessing, I adore You, I love You, and with a lively sorrow for my sins I offer You this poor heart of mine. Make me humble, patient, pure, and wholly obedient to Your will. Grant, good Jesus, that I may live in You and for You. Protect me in the midst of danger; comfort me in my afflictions; give me health of body, assistance in my temporal needs, Your blessing on all that I do, and the grace of a holy death. Amen.

O my Jesus, You have said: "Truly I say to you, ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you." Behold I knock, I seek, and I ask for the grace of [here name your request]. Our Father… Hail Mary… Glory Be… Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in You. O my Jesus, You have said: "Truly I say to you, if you ask anything of the Father in My name, He will give it to you." Behold, in Your name, I ask the Father for the grace of [here name your request]. Our Father… Hail Mary… Glory Be… Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in You. O my Jesus, You have said: "Truly I say to you, heaven and earth will pass away but My words will not pass away." Encouraged by Your infallible words I now ask for the grace of [here name your request]. Our Father… Hail Mary… Glory Be… Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in You. O Sacred Heart of Jesus, for whom it is impossible not to have compassion on the afflicted, have pity on us miserable sinners and grant us the grace which we ask of You, through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, Your tender Mother and ours. Hail, Holy Queen… St. Joseph, foster father of Jesus, pray for us.
