SACRED HEART OF JESUS

John 19:34: "A soldier thrust his lance
into His side, and immediately
blood and water flowed out..."

Jesus, Who gave Your life for us,
Let me be purified in the water
from the wound in Your side
and sanctified in Your sacred blood.

Most holy Heart of Jesus,
fountain of every blessing,
I adore Thee, I love Thee
and with sorrow for my sins,
I offer Thee 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, and assist me in my temporal needs.

Within Your Heart I place my every care.
In every need let me come to You
with humble trust saying,
"Heart of Jesus help me."
Please bless all that I do,
and give me the grace of a holy death.

God, the Father of Heaven,
God, the Son, Redeemer of the world,
God, the Holy Spirit,
Holy Trinity, One God,

Heart of Jesus,
of Infinite Majesty,
Heart of Jesus,
Sacred Temple of God,
Heart of Jesus,
Chalice of all virtues,
Heart of Jesus,
patient and most merciful,
Heart of Jesus,
most worthy of all praise,
Heart of Jesus,
Son of the Eternal Father,
Heart of Jesus,
Propitiation for our sins,
Heart of Jesus,
full of goodness and grace,
Heart of Jesus,
burning furnace of charity,
Heart of Jesus,
loaded down with opprobrium,
Heart of Jesus,
Tabernacle of the Most High,
Heart of Jesus,
enriching all who invoke you,
Heart of Jesus,
Fountain of life and holiness,
Heart of Jesus,
King and center of all hearts,
Heart of Jesus,
House of God and Gate of Heaven,
Heart of Jesus,
desire of the everlasting hills,
Heart of Jesus,
in whom the Father was well pleased,
Heart of Jesus,
treasure house of wisdom and knowledge,
Heart of Jesus,
of whose fullness we have all received,

Heart of Jesus, obedient to death,
Heart of Jesus, victim for our sins,
Heart of Jesus, pierced with a lance,
Heart of Jesus, bruised for our offenses,
Heart of Jesus, source of all consolation,
Heart of Jesus, our life and resurrection,
Heart of Jesus, our love and reconciliation,

Heart of Jesus,
salvation of those who trust in You,
Heart of Jesus,
hope of those who die in You,
Heart of Jesus,
delight of all the Saints,
Heart of Jesus,
Please take away my sins
and the sins of all the world.

All this I pray to You, my Lord and my God,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Amen

Traditional Prayer

Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus began in the 3rd century AD. I attended Sacred Heart School and Church in Leavenworth, Kansas, in the 1930's and 1940's. DBM
