Novena to the Sacred Heart, Day Five



Begin with the Sign of the Cross.

Triple Intention(1)
Eternal Father, I offer You the Sacred Heart of Jesus, with all its love, all its sufferings, and all its merits:
First -- To expiate all the sins I have committed this day and during all my life. Glory be to the Father...
Second -- To purify the good I have done badly this day and during all my life. Glory be to the Father...
Third -- To supply the good I ought to have done, and that I have neglected this day and during all my life. Glory be to the Father...

How good is the love of Jesus that He invites always to renew ourselves at the founts of His Most Sacred Heart! From this Heart, undiluted flows of grace, love, and unity with God most high. And in general, our response is in difference. Let us pray today for freedom from our sins and the hope to grow more perfectly united to the days that remain to us.

Sacred Heart Novena Prayer (2)
Hail, O Sacred Heart of Jesus, living and animating source of eternal life, infinite treasure of the Divinity, burning furnace of divine love. Our amiable Savior, consume our hearts with that burning love with which Yours is ever inflamed. Pour down on our souls those graces which flow from Your love, and let our hearts be so united with Yours, that our will may be one, and in all things conformed to Yours. May Yours be the standard and rule of our desires and of our actions.
V: O sweetest Heart of Jesus, we implore,
R: That we may ever love You more and more.

Conclude with the Sign of the Cross.
