Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, Miserere nobis

“I will entrust all my anxieties to the Heart of the good Jesus, and He will support me without fail. And so, adorable Jesus, having found this Heart of yours, which is mine also, I will pray to you, my God. Let my prayers enter into that sacred Shrine where they will be heard: indeed draw me entirely into Your Heart.”

- St. Bonaventure

O my Jesus who didst say: “Indeed I say to you, ask and it shall be given you; seek and you shall find; knock and it shall be opened to you.” Here I am, knocking, seeking, and asking the grace (mention your request).

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be…

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in Thee.

O my Jesus who didst say: “Indeed I say to you, whatever you shall ask the Father in My name, it shall be granted to you.” Here I am, asking Thy Father in Thy name for the grace (mention your request).

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be…
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in Thee.

O my Jesus who didst say: “Indeed I say to you, heaven and earth shall pass, but my words shall not pass.” Here I am, and supporting myself on the infallibility of Thy words, I ask Thee the grace (mention your request).

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be… 
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in Thee.

Prayer

O Sacred Heart of Jesus, for whom only one thing is impossible and that is not to feel compassion for the wretched, have pity on us, miserable sinners, and grant us the grace which we ask Thee through the Immaculate Heart of She who is Thy tender Mother and also ours. Hail Holy Queen…

Saint Joseph foster father of Jesus, pray for us.

Affections of Love towards the Heart of Jesus

This was written by St. Alphonsus, but remained unpublished till 1875. 


O amiable Heart of my Saviour! Thou art the seat of all virtues, the source of all graces, the burning furnace in which are inflamed all holy souls. Thou art the object of all God’s love; thou art the refuge of the afflicted, and the abode of the souls that love thee, O Heart worthy of reigning over all hearts, and of possessing the affection of all hearts! 

O Heart that was wounded for me on the Cross by the lance of my sins, and that remained afterwards continually wounded for me on the altar in the Blessed Sacrament, but not by any other lance than that of the love that thou entertainest for me! O loving Heart, that loves men with so much tenderness, and that is so little loved by men! Do thou apply a remedy to so great an ingratitude, inflame thou our hearts with a true love for thee. Ah! Why can I not go all over the world to make known the graces, the sweetness, the treasures that thou dispensest to those who truly love Thee? 

Accept the desire that I have of seeing all hearts burning with love for thee. O Divine Heart! Be Thou my consolation in trials, my repose in labours, my solace in anxieties, my haven in tempests. I consecrate Thee my body and my soul, my heart and my life, together with all that I am. I unite to Thine all my thoughts, all my affections, all my desires. 

O Eternal Father! I offer Thee the pure affections of the Heart of Jesus. If Thou dost reject mine, Thou canst not reject those of Thy Son, who is sanctity itself; may they supply what is wanting in me, and may they render me pleasing in Thy eyes!

Parents Prayers for their Children

O God the Father of mankind, who hast given unto me these my children, and committed them to my charge to bring them up for Thee, and to prepare them for eternal life: help me with Thy heavenly grace, that I may be able to fulfil this most sacred duty and stewardship. Teach me both what to give and what to withhold; when to reprove and when to forbear; make me to be gentle, yet firm; considerate and watchful; and deliver me equally from the weakness of indulgence, and the excess of severity; and grant that, both by word and example, I may be careful to lead them in the ways of wisdom and true piety, so that at last I may, with them, be admitted to the unspeakable joys of our true home in heaven, in the company of the blessed Angels and Saints. Amen.

O Heavenly Father, I commend my children to Thy care. Be Thou their God and Father; and mercifully supply whatever is lacking in me through frailty or negligence. Strengthen them to overcome the corruptions of the world, whether from within or without; and deliver them from the secret snares of the enemy. Pour Thy grace into their hearts, and strengthen and multiply in them the gifts of Thy Holy Spirit, that they may daily grow in grace and in knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ; and so, faithfully serving Thee here, may come to rejoice in Thy presence hereafter. Amen.

Jesus, Mary, Joseph, Anne, Therese, I love You; Save Souls!

Jesu mitis et humilis corde, Fac cor nostrum secundum Cor tuum. (ter)

Deus propitius esto mihi peccatori.

Daily Daily, Sing to Mary

Daily, Daily, Sing to Mary
Omni Die dic Mariae Cento on a poem of St. Bernard, d. 1153 St. Casimir, d. 1484. Tr. Henry Bittleston, d. 1886, alt.
Corner's Gesangbuch, 1631 Arr. W.S. Rockstro, d. 1895
Daily, daily, sing to Mary, Sing, my soul, her praises due: All her feasts, her actions honour, With the heart's devotion true.
Now in wond'ring contemplation, Be her majesty confessed;  Call her Mother, call her Virgin, Happy Mother, Virgin blest.
She is mighty to deliver; Call her, trust her lovingly; When the tempest rages round thee, She will calm the troubled sea.
Gifts of heaven she has given, Noble Lady, to our race;  She the Queen who decks her subjects With the lights of God's own grace.
Sing, my tongue, the Virgin's trophies, Who for us her Maker bore; For the curse of old inflicted, Peace and blessing to restore.
Sing in songs of praise unending, Sing the world's majestic Queen; Weary not, nor fail in telling All the gifts she gives to men.
Jesus, Mary, Joseph, Anne, Therese, I love You; Save Souls!
