The novena starts today, June 3. Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus This novena prayer is attributed to St. Margaret Mary Alocoque who widely promoted devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Saint Padre Pio recited this novena daily for all those who requested his prayers. The following prayers are recited DAILY for 9 consecutive days, with the Act of Reparation added on the 9th and final day of the novena. Novena to the Sacred Heart of JESUS 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 (name your request here). Our Father . . . Hail Mary . . . Glory Be . . . Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in You. O my Jesus, You have said: “Truly I say to you, if you ask anything of the Father in my name, He will give it to you.” Behold, in Your name, I ask the Father for the grace of (name your request here). Our Father . . . Hail Mary . . . Glory Be . . . Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in You. O my Jesus, You have said: “Truly I say to you, heaven and earth will pass away but my words will not pass away.” Encouraged by Your infallible words, I now ask for the grace of (name your request here). Our Father . . . Hail Mary . . . Glory Be . . . Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in You. O Sacred Heart of Jesus, for whom it is impossible not to have compassion on the afflicted, have pity on us miserable sinners and grant us the grace which we ask of You, through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, Your tender Mother and ours. Hail Holy Queen . . . St. Joseph, foster father of Jesus, pray for us. Amen. Act of Reparation to the Sacred Heart (Do this on the final day of the novena) Most Loving Jesus, when I consider Your tender Heart and see it full of mercy and tenderness toward sinners, my own heart is filled with joy and confidence that I shall be so kindly welcomed by You. Unfortunately, how many times have I sinned! But now, with Peter and with Magdalene, I weep for my sins and detest them because they offend You, infinite Goodness. Mercifully grant me pardon for them all; and let me die rather than offend You again; at least let me live only to love You in return. Amen.
I love this Novena and say it nearly every day. I am so happy it will be an all call novena through out the Church for reparation this month.
