Please join the parish in offering a Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus from April 26 to May 4 (First Friday). Please pray for more generous volunteers to visit our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament for his honor and our sanctification!
Either the shorter or the longer prayer is to be said each day for nine days.
Shorter Novena prayer:
Saint Margaret Mary, you who were made a partaker of the divine treasures of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, obtain for us, we beseech thee, from this adorable Heart, the graces we need for the success of this Adoration Chapel. We ask these favors of you with unbounded confidence. May the divine Heart of Jesus be pleased to bestow them upon us through your intercession, so that once again He may be loved and glorified through you. Amen.
Longer:
O my Jesus, you have said: "Truly I say to you, ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you." Behold I knock, I seek and ask for the grace of new scheduled adorers.
Our Father...
Hail Mary...
Glory Be...
Sacred Heart of Jesus, we place all our trust in you.
O my Jesus, you have said: "Truly I say to you, if you ask anything of the Father in my name, he will give it to you." Behold, in your name, I ask the Father for the grace of new dedicated substitute volunteers.
Our Father...
Hail Mary...
Glory Be...
Sacred Heart of Jesus, we place all our trust in you.
O my Jesus, you have said: "Truly I say to you, heaven and earth will pass away but my words will not pass away." Encouraged by your infallible words I now ask for the grace of families to join together to share the responsibility of one hour each week.
Our Father...
Hail Mary...
Glory Be...
Sacred Heart of Jesus, we place all our trust in you.
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, for whom it is impossible not to have compassion on the afflicted, have pity on us miserable sinners and grant us the grace which we ask of you, through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, your tender Mother and ours.
Our Father...
Hail Mary...
Glory Be...
Sacred Heart of Jesus, we place all our trust in you.
Hail Holy Queen...
St. Joseph, foster father of Jesus, pray for us. Amen.
