Prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Saint John Henry Newman

Most sacred, most loving Heart of Jesus, you are concealed in the Holy Eucharist, and you bear for us still. Now, as then, you say: "With desire I have desired." I worship you with all my best love and awe, with fervent affection, with my most subdued, most resolved will. For a while you take up your abode within me. O make my heart beat with your Heart! Purify it of all that is earthly, all that is proud and sensual, of all perversity, of all disorder. So fill it with you, that neither the events of the day, nor the circumstances of the time, may have the power to ruffle it; but that in your love and your fear, it may have peace. Amen.

Prayer to the Infant Jesus of Prague

Sacred Heart

O miraculous Infant Jesus, prostrate before your sacred image, we beseech you to cast a merciful look on our troubled hearts. Let your tender Heart, so inclined to pity, be softened by our prayers, and grant us that grace for which we ardently implore you. Take from us all affliction and despair, all trials and misfortunes with which we are laden. For your sacred infancy's sake, hear our prayers and send us consolation and aid, that we may praise you, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, forever and ever. Amen.

The Chaplet of Divine Mercy

On the Hail Mary beads, say the following words: For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world. At the conclusion of the chaplet, three times recite: Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world. Amen.
