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.
Testimony by Emily Jaminet, Director of the Sacred Heart Enthronement Network
The Holy Heart of Jesus Prayer is one of the most popular prayers to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. You can find it on prayer cards, websites, and written in the hearts of men, women, and children everywhere.Jesus’s heart is big enough for all of us and all our intentions!
My parents call The Holy Heart of Jesus prayer “Bud’s Prayer” since my great uncle prayed this prayer every day and believed it was what gave him strength and spiritual comfort. It turns out that this prayer was my great uncle’s last piece of mail he ever addressed the night before he passed away. After his funeral, my parents took it as a sign that this prayer was worth praying! Bud’s holy life was an example well worth following in his footsteps. We have distributed over 150,000 of these prayer cards!
As for me, I began to pray this prayer as a family after eight years of home-schooling and my husband and I decided to take a big leap and put all of my children in Catholic school. From the beginning of this decision we entrusted all our intentions and finances to the Sacred Heart. At the time I called this prayer my “Catholic School Prayer” since we all prayed it together in the car on the way to school. I knew I needed a prayer that would not only protect my children but guide all of us, and this prayer was the perfect one. In just a matter of a few months, we all had it memorized. I found that my children also grew to love this prayer and help them with this big life adjustment. Many years later, we still pray this prayer and appreciate the graces Jesus has provided for us!
The Holy Heart of Jesus prayer is also a prayer of hope. Lastly, there are many amazing stories of faith and hope related to this prayer card. Once, a person told us that there was a man who claimed to be suicidal and depressed and in the darkest moments of his life he said that the image seemed to light up. The card grabbed his attention and he felt called to flip the card over and pray the prayer on the other side and as a result he did not take his life that night. How often do we need to know that we are loved and cared for! Visit this link to order prayer cards to hand out to others! https://welcomehisheart.com/product/prayer-cards
