Novena to the Sacred Heart

The Sacred Heart refers to the devotion of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ, a devotion which is associated with a solemn Catholic feast day on the 3rd Friday just after Pentecost. Many novenas to the Sacred Heart of Jesus exist, each varying in style and content. The novena is usually prayed for 9 days just before the feast of Corpus Christie, but it can be prayed during any moment of the year.

If you would like to spend 9 days with the loving heart of Jesus, here are a few propositions.


Saint Padre Pio’s Irresistible Novena to the Sacred Heart

Praying was a very important part of life for the Italian Capuccine Priest, Padre Pio, who lived during the twentieth century and was canonised in 2002. He said that praying was “the key to open the Heart of Jesus”, which shows his great devotion to the Sacred Heart. Everyday, Padre Pio said his “irresistible” prayer which included three promises made by Jesus in the Gospel. This prayer can be said everyday during the novena, every time we pray or just occasionally.

O my Jesus, you have said: 'Truly I say to you, ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you. ' Behold I knock, I seek and ask for the grace of...... (here name your request).

One Our Father, One Hail Mary and One Glory Be

Sacred Heart of Jesus, I trust in You!

“O Lord Jesus Christ,

To your most Sacred Heart,

I confide this intention:

Only look upon me,  And then do what your Sacred Heart inspires.

Let your Sacred Heart decide; I count on it, I trust in it.

I throw myself on Your mercy, Lord Jesus! You will not fail me.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, I trust in You.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, I believe in Your love for me.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, Your Kingdom come.

O Sacred Heart of Jesus, I have asked you for many favors,

But I earnestly implore this one. Take it.

Place it in Your open, broken Heart;

And, when the Eternal Father looks upon It,

Covered with Your Precious Blood, He will not refuse it.

It will be no longer my prayer, But Yours, O Jesus.

O Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in You.

Let me not be disappointed. Amen.”
