Sacred Heart Novena - Day 1 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 graces 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 omnipotence 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. (mention your request) I place my hope in you. Let me not be confounded, O Heart of my omnipotent God, have mercy on me The post Sacred Heart Novena – Day 1 – Discerning Hearts Novena Podcast appeared first on Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcasts.
