Make your request and trust in the loving heart of Jesus
Preparatory Prayer:
Oh! Loving heart of Jesus, Most pure and most holy Heart, all full of love, Heart that reigns all perfections and virtues, you deserve the love of all hearts.
I have destroyed in my heart all the affections that keep you from being all yours.
I love you, oh! My Jesus, and I do not want to love but you.
Meditation:
The Heart of Jesus, temple of the Holy Trinity.
One act of adoration and love, or any other virtue, that came forth from the Heart of Christ, through his mission the person of the Divine Word, was infinitely more valuable to God than the acts of all the people of this world, more holy.
We too must be living temples of God by grace: let us ask the Sacred Heart to make our hearts like his.
Recitative:
Sacred Heart of my Jesus, make me love you more and more.
Final Prayer:
Oh! God, that in the Heart of your Son, wounded by our sins, you deserve to lavish upon us the infinite treasures of love, we beseech you, rendering to him the precept of our devotion and piety, Repair.
By the same Christ our Lord. Amen!
PRAYER TO MOTHER MARY
O Mother of Perpetual Help, grant me ever to be able to call upon thy powerful name, since thy name is the help of the living and the salvation of the dying. Ah, Mary most pure, Mary most sweet, grant that thy name from this day forth may be to me the very breath of life.
Dear Lady, delay not to come to my assistance whenever I call upon thee; for in all the temptations that assail me, in all the necessities that befall me, I will never leave off calling upon thee, ever repeating:
Mary, Mary. What comfort, what sweetness, what confidence, what tenderness fills my soul at the sound of thy name, at the very thought of thee! I give thanks to our Lord, who for my sake hath given thee a name so sweet, so lovable, so mighty.
But I am not content merely to speak thy name; I would utter it for very love of thee; it is my desire that love should ever remind me to name thee, Mother of Perpetual Help.
O Mother of Perpetual Help, thou art the dispenser of every grace that God grants us in our misery; it is for this cause that He hath made thee so powerful, so rich, so kind, that thou mightest assist us in our miseries.
Thou art the advocate of the most wretched and abandoned sinners, if they but come unto thee; come once more to my assistance, for I commend myself to thee. In thy hands I place my eternal salvation; to thee I entrust my soul.
nroll me among thy most faithful servants; take me under thy protection and it is enough for me: yes, for if thou protect me, I shall fear nothing; not my sins, for thou wilt obtain for me their pardon and remission; not the evil spirits, for thou art mightier than all the powers of hell; not even Jesus, my Judge, for He is appeased by a single prayer from thee.
