Day 3 Novena to the Sacred Heart

Image de la publication

Let us pray to the Heart of our Lord Jesus Christ who rose from the dead, and revealed his love for us by his glorious wounds.

 

O God, you repaid the sacrifice of Your Son with eternal glory. May the sight of the wound on his side be for us an everlasting reminder of his unending love for us and the suffering he endured for our salvation. May we bring to fruition the graces he earned for us, and may we thus reach the dwelling he prepared for us, where we will glorify You forever and ever. 

 

A reading from the gospel according to John 20,26-29

 

Now a week later his disciples were again inside and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, although the doors were locked, and stood in their midst and said, "Peace be with you". Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here and see my hands, and bring your hand and put it into my side, and do not be unbelieving, but believe." Thomas answered and said to him, "My Lord and my God!" Jesus said to him, "Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed."

Pray the Chaplet to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Here's how to proceed for the Chaplet:

 

- Begin with the following prayer on the Crucifix (written by St. Ignatius of Loyola, or St. Thomas of Aquinas): 

'Soul of Christ, sanctify me/Body of Christ, save me/Blood of Christ, inebriate me/Water from the side of Christ, wash me/Passion of Christ, strengthen me/O Good Jesus, hear me/Within your wounds, hide me/Permit me not to be separated from you/From the wicked foe, defend me/At the hour of my death, call me and bid me come to you/That with your saints I may praise you forever and ever. Amen.

 

- On the large beads say:

'O sweetest Heart of Jesus, I implore that I may ever love you more and more.'

 

- On the small beads say:

'Sweet Heart of Jesus, be my love.'

 

- At the end of each decade, say:

'Sweet Heart of Mary, be my salvation'.

 

-Upon completing the chaplet, say:

'May the Heart of Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament, be blessed, adored and praised with grateful affection, at every moment in all the tabernacles of the world, even to the end of time.'

Act of Consecration to the Sacred Heart (St. Margaret Mary Alacoque (1647-1690) )

O Sacred Heart of Jesus, To you I consecrate and offer up My person and my life, My actions, trials, and sufferings, That my entire being may henceforth only be employed In loving, honoring and glorifying you. This is my irrevocable will, To belong entirely to you, And to do all for your love, Renouncing with my whole heart all that can displease you. I take you, O Sacred Heart, For the sole object of my love, The protection of my life, The pledge of my salvation, The remedy of my frailty and inconstancy, The reparation for all the defects of my life, And my secure refuge at the hour of my death. Be you, O Most Merciful Heart, My justification before God your Father, And screen me from His anger which I have so justly merited. I fear all from my own weakness and malice, But placing my entire confidence in you, O Heart of Love, I hope all from your infinite goodness. Annihilate in me all that can displease or resist you. Imprint your pure love so deeply in my heart That I may never forget you or be separated from you. I beseech you, through your infinite goodness, Grand that my name be engraved upon your Heart, For in this place all my happiness and all my glory, To live and die as one of your devoted servants. Amen.
