In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. R. Amen.

Lord Jesus, Who have deigned to open by Your special love the unutterable

goodness and riches of Your Heart to Your Bride, the Church: grant to us,

your servants, that we may merit to be enriched and refreshed by Your

heavenly graces, flowing from this sweetest of fountains.

R. Amen.

V. Heart of Jesus, burning with love for us.

R. Set our hearts on fire with love of You.

O Lord Jesus Christ, who have said: Ask and you shall receive, seek and

you shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you; mercifully attend to

our supplications, and grant us the gift of Your divine charity, that we may

ever love You with our whole heart and with all our words and deeds, and may

never cease from praising You. R. Amen.

(Pause here to make petitions to the Sacred Heart.)

V. O Sacred Heart of Jesus, most obedient to the will of the Father.

R. Incline our hearts to You, that we may do always what is pleasing to You.

O divine Heart of Jesus, grant, we pray You, eternal rest to the souls

in purgatory, final grace to those who are about to die, true repentance to

sinners, the light of faith to non-Christians, and Your blessing to us and all

who are dear to us. To You, therefore, we commend all these souls, and in

their behalf we offer unto You all the merits of Your Sacred Heart. R. Amen.

V. O Sacred Heart of Jesus, thirsting for our salvation.

R. Recall us sinners to Your Heart, that we may not die in our sins.

Let us pray.

O God, Who deign mercifully to bestow upon us the infinite

treasures of love in the Heart of Your Son, which was wounded for our sins;

grant, we beseech You, that we who pay Him the devout homage of our piety may

in like manner show unto You our due of worthy satisfaction. Through the same

Christ our Lord.

R. Amen.
