Prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Oh Sacred Heart of Jesus,
Source of infinite love and mercy,
Today I come to you, humble and trusting,
To place my heart in your loving hands.

You who gave your life for humanity,
You know my weaknesses, my sorrows and my joys.
In your Heart pierced by love,
I find refuge, peace and consolation.

Lord Jesus, teach me to love like you,
To forgive without reserve, to serve generously.
Make my heart an echo of yours:
Humble, gentle and full of compassion.

Oh Fiery Heart, set my soul ablaze with your light,
Chase away my doubts, fears and wounds.
Renew in me faith, hope and charity,
So that I may walk each day by your side.

I consecrate to you my life, my thoughts, my actions,
My successes and my trials.
Reign in me and in those I love,
And bless all those who seek your presence.

Sacred Heart of Jesus,
Source of life and eternal love,
I trust in you, now and forever.
Amen.
