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.

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

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.”
