Novena Prayer to theSacred Heart of Jesus 
 
O

 Sacred Heart of Jesus, fountain of every blessing,
I adore you, I love you and with a lively sorrow
 for my sins, I offer you my poor heart.
 
Make me humble, patient, pure and fully obedient
 to your will.  Grant, O good Jesus, that I may live
 in you and for you.
 
Behold, in your name, I ask the Father
for the grace of….( name your request).
 
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, protect me when I am in
danger, comfort me when I am in distress,  give me
 health of body,  help in my daily needs and Your
 blessing on all I do and the grace of a holy death.
Amen.
 
 
V.       Jesus, gentle and humble of Heart.
R.       Make our hearts like unto thine.
 
 
Let us pray….
 
Almighty and eternal God, look upon the Heart of Your
well beloved Son, and upon the praise and satisfaction
He offers You on behalf of sinners; and being pleased.
Grant pardon to those who seek Your mercy in the
name of the same Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives
and reigns with You, in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
world without end.
Amen.

​Act of Consecration to theSacred Heart of Jesus 
 
I, (say your name), give and consecrate myself to
the Sacred Heart of our Lord Jesus Christ. I give my person,
my life, my actions, pains and sufferings, so that I may be
unwilling to make use of any part of my being except to honor, love and glorify the Sacred Heart.
 
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, this is my unchanging purpose, namely, to be all Yours and to do all things for the love of You, at the same time renouncing with all my heart whatever is displeasing to You.
 
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 fragility; but I hope for all things from Your goodness and bounty.
 
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, consume in me all that displeases You or is contrary to Your Holy Will.  Imprint Your pure love upon my heart so deeply that I shall nevermore 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 all my honor, living and dying in union with You.
Amen.
