The Sacred Heart Novena Prayer

Day One

My God and my Lord Jesus Christ, in deepest humility, I kneel before you and adore your divine

heart.

No one dares to doubt that you will grant all grace as necessary to our salvation.

Did you not say, God alone is good, and are not you, my very God, is not your heart, the heart of God

who is all love. Therefore, there can be no power that is able to hinder you from granting our requests.

Nothing is difficult for your unimipotence, and your riches are infinite and can never be exhausted.

No matter how often I may have sinned against you, I shall not despair, because I know that you

are God, infinite in generosity and mercy, always ready to pardon every contrite and humble sinner.

O compassionate heart of Jesus, God of solace, grant me comfort. Pardon me. Come to my assistance.

Say but the word and I shall find relief in my sore trials. Please assist me in the request I place before

you now. I place my hoping you. O heart of my unipotent God, have mercy on me.

O divine Jesus who has said, ask and you shall receive. see on me.

O divine Jesus who has said,

ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be open to you.

Behold me, prostrate at your feet.

Animated with a lively faith and confidence in the promises dictated by your sacred heart and pronounced by your adorable lips, I come to ask your aid.

From whom shall I ask, O sweet Jesus, is not from you whose heart is an inexhaustible source of all graces and merits.

Where shall I seek, if not from the treasure which contains all the riches of your clemency and bounty?

Where shall I knock, if it not be at the door of your sacred heart through which God himself comes to us and through which we go to God.

To you then, O Heart of Jesus, I have recourse.
