Novena In Honour of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Everyday unite your prayers and adorations with those of the Most Holy Virgin and of one of the nine choirs of Angels and Saints, to honour one of the dispositions of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and to practise some virtue in its honour.
THE SEVENTH DAY
With the Blessed Virgin,
the Principalities, and the Holy Virgins and Widows.
Adore the Sacred Heart of Jesus, which delights to be with the children of men and which, with tenderness, pities our miseries and our wants.
Practice-–Esteem the happiness you enjoy, in being able to converse with Jesus Christ in the most Holy Sacrament and avail yourself of this advantage, as often as you can, without neglecting the duties of your state.
Prayer of St. Alphonsus Liguori to the Sacred Heart
O Adorable Heart of my Jesus,
Heart created expressly. for the love of men!
Until now, I have shown towards Thee
only ingratitude.
Pardon me, O my Jesus.
Heart of my Jesus,
Abyss of Love and of Mercy,
how is it possible,
hat I do not die of sorrow
when I reflect on Thy Goodness to me
and my ingratitude to Thee?
Thou, my Creator, after having created me,
hast given Thy Blood and Thy Life for me
and, not content with this,
Thou hast invented a means of offering
Thyself everyday for me,
in the Holy Eucharist,
exposing Thyself to a thousand insults and outrages.
Ah, Jesus, do Thou wound my heart
with a great contrition for my sins
and a lively love for Thee.
Through Thy Tears and Thy Blood,
give me the grace of perseverance
in Thy fervent love, until I breathe my last sigh.
Amen.
