How to Pray a Novena to the Sacred Heart

The Sacred Heart represents Christ's love for mankind as demonstrated in His redemptive sacrifice.

Instructions

    Know that between 1673 and 1675 Christ appeared the French nun Margaret Mary Alacoque, encouraging devotion to His Sacred Heart and He made twelve promises, including peace, consolation and other blessings, to those who practiced this devotion. The devotion was championed by several saints and popes and Pope Leo XIII consecrated the world to the Sacred Heart in 1899. The Sacred Heart is depicted as being wrapped in the crown of thorns and appears either on its own or hovering in front of Christ's chest. Say this prayer for nine consecutive days, nine Fridays, Saturdays or Sundays or every hour for nine hours.

    Our Father,
    who art in Heaven,
    hallowed by Thy name,
    Thy kingdom come,
    Thy will be done
    on earth as it is in Heaven.
    Give us this day our daily bread,
    and forgive us our trespasses
    as we forgive those who trespass against us.
    And lead us not into temptation
    but deliver us from evil.
    Amen

    Hail Mary,
    Full of Grace,
    The Lord is with thee.
    Blessed art thou among women,
    and blessed is the fruit
    of thy womb, Jesus.
    Holy Mary,
    Mother of God,
    pray for us sinners now,
    and at the hour of death.
    Amen.

    Glory be to the Father
    and to the Son
    and to the Holy Spirit.
    As it was in the beginning
    is now, and ever shall be,
    world without end
    Amen

    Sacred Heart of Jesus,
    I place all my trust in you
    Amen
