Novena to the Sacred Heart, Day Two



Begin with the Sign of the Cross.

King of the Universe (1)
O Christ Jesus, I acknowledge You king of the universe. All that has been created has been made for You. Exercise upon me all Your rights.

I renew my baptismal promises renouncing Satan and all his works and pomps. I promise to live a good Christian life and to do all in my power to procure the triumph of the rights of God and Your Church.

Divine Heart of Jesus, I offer You my poor actions in order to obtain that all hearts may acknowledge Your sacred royalty and that thus the reign of Your peace may be established throughout the universe. Amen.

Pause to reflect on how you could more perfectly surrender yourself to Christ, our Eternal King. Consider all the people you have hurt or imperfectly served because you were too wrapped up in trying to be king of the Universe. Ask Jesus for forgiveness for your sins and for the graces necessary to overcome them. At this time, you may mention your particular intentions for this novena.

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.
