These essential prayers to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus will not only provide you strength for your journey but new graces. Pandemic living is challenging so why not offer up your daily works, joys and sorrows to the Lord. We can offer up everything, but sin. Sin is what holds us back from Jesus. May we all desire to be holy and live a holy life as a witness to others.

1. A Pray to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

O Good Jesus you are the Most High God, everlasting and always living. You have shown us the way to the Father and sent the Holy Spirit to guide us. We implore thy Most Sacred Heart to have mercy on us in this time of need. Bless and protect the vulnerable, give hope to all and fill our hearts with confidence in your Divine Mercy. Be our joy in the midst of suffering and our stability in the midst of uncertainty. Your forgiveness we seek, your love we need, your protection we implore. Forgive our sins and heal our wounds. Strengthen any weakness of faith and make us strong to give witness to your glory. Keep far from us any illness, pestilence, or harm. You are our refuge, you are our comfort, you are our hope. Through the intercession of Our Lady, Health of Christians, we come to your Most Sacred Heart and beseech your protection and blessing. Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!

2. A Prayer for Myself to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus

O most holy Heart of Jesus, fountain of every blessing, I adore You, I love You, and with a lively sorrow for my sins, I offer You this poor heart of mine. Make me humble, patient, pure, and wholly obedient to Your will. Grant, good Jesus, that I may live in You and for You. Protect me in the midst of danger; comfort me in my afflictions. Give me health of body, assistance in my temporal needs, Your blessing on all that I do, and the grace of a holy death. Amen. – Fr. Francis Larkin

Most sweet Jesus, humbly kneeling at Your feet, we renew the consecration of our family to Your Divine Heart.  Be Thou our King forever.  In You we have full and entire confidence.   May Your Spirit penetrate our thoughts, our desires, our words and our works.  Bless our undertakings, share in our joys, in our trials and in our labors.  Grant us to know You more, and to serve You without faltering.
