Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Divine Jesus, You said, "ask and you shall receive;
seek and you will find;
knock and it shall be opened to you."
Behold me kneeling a Your feet, filled with a lively faith and confidence in the promises dictated by Your sacred Heart to Saint Margaret Mary.
I come to ask this favor:
(Make your request here....)
To whom can I turn if not to You,
Whose Heart is the source of all graces and merits?
Where should I seek if not in the treasure
which contains all the riches of Your kindness and mercy?
Where should I knock if not at the door
through which God gives Himself to us and through which we go to God?
I have recourse to You, Heart of Jesus.
In You I find consolation when afflicted,
protection when persecuted, strength when burdened with trials,
and light in doubt and darkness.
Dear Jesus,
I firmly believe that You can grant me the grace I implore,
even though it should require a miracle.
You have only to will it and my prayer will be granted.
I admit that I am most unworthy of Your favors, but this is not a reason for me to be discouraged.
You are the God of Mercy,
and You will not refuse a contrite heart .
Cast upon me a look of mercy, I beg of You,
and Your kind Heart will find in my miseries
and weakness a reason for granting my prayer.
Sacred Heart,
whatever may be Your decision with regard to my request,
I will never stop adoring, loving, praising,
and serving You.
My Jesus, be pleased to accept this my act of perfect resignation to the decrees of Your adorable Heart,
which I sincerely desire may be fulfilled in
and by me and all Your creatures forever.
Grant me the grace for which I humbly implore You through the Immaculate Heart of Your most sorrowful Mother.
You entrusted me to her as her child, and her prayers are all powerful with You.
Amen
Offering
My God,
I offer You all my prayers, works, joys,
and sufferings in union with the Sacred Heart of Jesus,
for the intentions for which He pleads
and offers Himself in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass,
in thanksgiving for Your favors,
in reparation for my sins,
in humble supplication for my temporal
and eternal welfare,
for the needs of our holy Mother the Church,
for conversion of sinners,
and for the relief of the poor souls in purgatory.
