O most Sacred Heart Of Jesus, in which dwelleth the fulness of the divinity and of those fulness we have all received. Thou art the fountain of life and holiness. Grant me a heart that is like unto Thine. Since Thou art our refuge and our strength, Who art the author of mercy, hearken to my prayers and grant that what I ask with faith, I may effectually obtain, if it be for the good of my soul and the greater glory of God. Amen.

SPECIAL PRAYER
Reflection

1. Are you bringing peace by praying for your parents, your brothers and sisters?
2. Are you bringing peace into your home by being kind and thoughtful and patient?
3. Then say this prayer to the Sacred Heart:

Divine and most merciful Heart Of Jesus, Who through Thy sincere desire and deep love to bring me unto salvation, hast given consolation and dispelled the fears that becloud our hearts; inflame my heart with love of Thee, and wash away the difference to which my soul is often subjected because of my innumerable sins. Grant me the grace necessary to atone for all my iniquities and ingratitude. O Heart most lovable, may my offering be acceptable to Thee, so that it may purify me from my sins and grant that I may obtain the grace I need during this novena if it be for the good of my soul and the greater glory of God. Amen.

( Here pause for a moment to ask of the Sacred Heart of Jesus the favors you want to obtain from Him.)
