Introduction Prayers
Come Holy Spirit
Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire
of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall
renew the face of the earth.
O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the
faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever
enjoy His consolations, Through Christ Our Lord, Amen.
Act of Contrition
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my
sins because of Thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend
Thee, my God, Who art all-good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve,
with the help of Thy grace, to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of
sin. Amen
Prayer to Welcome the Saints
We Welcome all the Saints in heaven among us that they may pray with us

In preparation for The Solemnity in the Month of June

We specially call upon St. Joseph, St Peter and Paul, St. Margaret Mary
Alacoque, St. John Eudes, St. Gertrude, St. Theresa of the Child Jesus, St.
Francis of Assisi, St. Sharbel, St. Philomena, Holy Martyrs of Uganda, St.
Padre Pio, St. Josemaria, all our Patron Saints and all the Saints to assist
us and pray with us always. Amen.
Day 1 Intention - The First Thorn
Pray for Souls with ingratitude and insolence towards God.
The First Office - Worshiper
L: “God is Spirit, and those who worship must worship Him in Spirit and
Truth”. (John 4:24)
L: SPIRITUAL DISPOSITION
L: It is our care as Worshippers to unite our prayers with the prayers
which the Sacred Heart of Jesus offers for us in the Most Blessed
Sacrament. We join our tribute of praise to honour the Eternal
Father. Let us all place ourselves in God’s presence, striving to feel
as a nobody before the Almighty. Let us also strive to acquire a
profound feeling of lowliness before the Divine Majesty of God. At this
moment, let us unite our worship with that of the Most Pure Heart of
Mary and the Choir of Dominations. (Pause)
Reading: John 6: 26-27; 35-44; 47-51; 53-58; 60; 66-70
Reader: A reading from the Gospel according to St John
Jesus, Bread of Life
John 6: 26-27; - Jesus answered them and said, “Amen, amen I say to
you, you are looking for me not because you saw signs but because you
ate the loaves and were filled. Do not work for food that perishes but
for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will
give you. For in him the Father, God has set his seal.”
John 6: 35-44; - Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever
comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never
thirst. But I told you that although you have seen (me), you do not
believe. Everything that the Father gives me will come to me, and I
will not reject anyone who comes to me, because I came down from
heaven not to do my own will but the will of the one who sent me. And
this is the will of the one who sent me, that I should not lose anything
of what he gave me, but that I should raise it (on) the last day. For
this is the will of my Father, that everyone who sees the Son and
believes in him may have eternal life, and I shall raise him (on the
last day.”

The Jews murmured about him because he said, “am the bread that
came down from heaven” and the said, “Is this not Jesus, the son of
Joseph? Do we not know his father and mother? Then how can he say,
“I have come down from heaven? Jesus answered and said to them,
“Stop murmuring among yourselves. No one can come to me unless
the Father who sent me draw him, and I will raise him on the last
day.
John 6: 47-51; Amen amen I say to you, whoever believes has eternal
life. I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert,
but the died; this is the bread that comes down from heaven so that
one may eat it and not die. I am the living bread that came down from
heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever, and the bread that
I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.”
John 6: 53-58; - Jesus said to them, “Amen amen I say to you, unless
you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not
have life within you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has
eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. For my flesh is true
food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks
my blood remains in me and I in him. Just as the living Father sent
me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on
me will have life because of me. This is the bread that came down
from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever
eats this bred will live forever.”
John 6: 60; - Then many of his disciples who were listening said, “This
saying is hard; who can accept it?”
John 6: 66-70; - As a result of this, many (of) his disciples returned to
their former way of life and no longer accompanied him. Jesus then
said to the Twelve, “Do you also want to leave?” Simon Peter answered
him, “Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.
We have come to believe and are convinced that you are the Holy One
of God.” Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you twelve? Yet is
not one of you a devil?
Reader: The word of the Lord All: Thanks be to God
L: MOTIVATION (Please sit)
L: As Worshipers, let us consider the Divinity truly present in the Most
Sacred Heart of Jesus. In the Cross, we must see Faith; in the Wound,
Hope; in the Flames, Charity. We must also be able to hear the Sweet
complaint of Jesus, who laments that it is harder to endure the
ingratitude of Men than the Sorrow of His Passion. We must feel the
same sorrow of heart as felt by Our Lord Jesus, who is bitterly grieved
Page 3 of 12

In preparation for The Solemnity in the Month of June

because the persons Consecrated to His service are very cold to this
Devotion. “I long to be honoured in the Most Holy Sacrament, but I
find nobody to satisfy My most ardent desire”.
L: SELF OFFERING BEFORE THE BLESSED SACRAMENT
(please kneel)
All: “My God, Father, Son and the Holy Spirit, I offer You all my prayers,
action and sufferings of this day, in union with the merits of Jesus
Christ, for Your greater glory and in fulfillment of Your Most Holy
Will. I offer them also in honour of Mother Mary Most Holy (Kiss
your Scapular), St Joseph, my Guardian Angel and all my Patron
Saints. I offer them for the remission and atonement of my sins: for
the conversion of sinners and the dying; for the perseverance of the
just, according to the intentions of the Sovereign Pontiff and to gain
indulgences to help the poor souls in Purgatory. I offer them for my
spiritual advantages and that of my brethren and of all those for
whom I am bound to pray; and finally, I offer them in thanksgiving
for all the graces which I have received and shall yet receive through
the merits of Jesus Christ, Your Son. AMEN.
L: Immaculate Heart of Mary, powerful help of Christians,
All: Obtain for me a sincere devotion to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus
L: Most Precious blood of Jesus All: save us
L: Most Sacred Heart of Jesus All: Have Mercy on us
L: Immaculate Heart of Mary All: Pray for us
L: ADORATION BEFORE THE MOST BLESSED EUCHARIST
(please kneel)
All: “O Jesus, in the Most Blessed Sacrament, grant to Me and to my
fellow Worshipers and Children of Your Divine Heart, and to all
Priests, Religious and Consecrated Souls, the Spirit of fervor and holy
zeal, that we may fulfill the obligations of our state of life. Give also
to all persons consecrated to Your service, the grace of ever increasing
sanctity, that they may bring honour to our Mother, the Church and
pay homage to God in spirit and in truth. Amen.
L: O Divine Heart, All: Have pity on us
All: “O exalted Choir of Heavenly Dominations, lift off together with Me
to the August Heart of Jesus, all the good done in the Catholic world
and consecrate it to His greater glory. My Jesus, I join my whole soul
in the acts of adoration You offer Your Eternal Father. I love to offer

In preparation for The Solemnity in the Month of June

You the loving sentiments with which You have inspired Mary Most
Holy and Your Saints, in order to adore and glorify You, as You
deserve, throughout eternity”. Ament.
L: PRACTICE (please sit)
L: It is our care as Worshippers to exhibit profound reverence and
recollection during Holy Mass. We should make the Eucharist
continue to live in our hearts as we adore the Divine Father. As
Worshipers, let us cultivate an awareness of the presence of God,
which is the means of attaining a high degree of perfection.

Chaplet of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

O Jesus, give us your heart as a pledge of your Love and as a place of refuge
that we may find there a secure repose during our life and sweet comfort at
the hour of death.
Our Father….x1
Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be 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 ….x3
Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst
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 our death, Amen.
I Believe ….x1
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in
Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died
and was buried; He descended into hell; on the third day He rose again from
the dead; He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God
the Father Almighty; from there He will come to judge the living and the
dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion
of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life
everlasting. Amen.
On the large Beads of Rosary 5 Times

committed against thee in the most Holy Sacrament of the Altar, I offer up
to Thee in satisfaction thereof the amiable Heart of your most Beloved
Mother with the Merits of the Saints. Amen.
On the small Beads of Rosary -

Prayer to the Sacred Heart
O most holy Heart of Jesus, fountain of every blessing, I adore you, I love
you and will a lively sorrow for my sins. I offer you this poor heart of mine.
Make me humble, patient, pure, and wholly obedient to your will. Grant,
good Jesus, that I may live in you and for you. Protect me in the midst of
danger; comfort me in my afflictions; give me health of body, assistance in
my temporal needs, your blessings on all that I do, and the grace of a holy
death. Within your heart I place my every care. In every need let me come
to you with humble trust saying, Heart of Jesus, help me. Amen.
Day 1 -Sacred Heart Novena
Meditation
The human body is composed of different parts: head, eyes, ears, nose,
mouth, etc. Each part is important. For instance, the ears cannot say it's
important to the hands...the legs cannot say it's important to the eyes, etc.
There is a part of the human body which appears to be superior over the
others. It has a link with the mind & general conduct. When doctors want
to know if a person is dead or not, they check it's beat. This part of the body
is the HEART. Without eyes, you can live; without hands or feet, you can
live. Without the heart, you cannot live.
Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI describes the Sacred Heart of Jesus in these
words: "It is a symbol of the Christian faith that is especially dear, to
ordinary people as well as to mystics & theologians, because it expresses the
'good news' of love in a simple & authentic way, encapsulating the mystery
of Incarnation & Redemption."
Again, "it reminds us that Christ is not God simply appearing as man; He
is truly man, just as He is truly God. From the boundless horizon of His love,
God entered the limitations of history & of the human condition. He took a
body & a heart so that we can contemplate & encounter the infinite in the
finite, the invisible & ineffable Mystery in the human Heart of Jesus of
Nazareth."
Let us Pray for all in distress

Act of Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

I (N.), give and consecrate to the Sacred Heart of our Lord Jesus Christ, my
person, my life, my actions, my pains and sufferings, so that I may be
unwilling to make use of any part of my being save to honor, love, and glorify
the Sacred Heart. It is my unchanging intention to be all His and to do all
for love of Him. I renounce at the same time with all my heart whatever can
displease Him.
I, therefore, take You, O Sacred Heart, for the only object of my love, the
protector of my life, the pledge of my salvation, the remedy of my weakness
and inconstancy, the atonement for the faults of my life, and the secure
refuge at the hour of my death.
Be then, O Heart of goodness, my justification before God the Father, and
turn away from me the punishment of His just anger. O Heart of love, I put
my confidence in You, because I fear everything from my own sinfulness and
weakness. I hope for all things from Your mercy and generosity.
Destroy in me all that can displease or resist Your holy Will. Let Your pure
love impress You so deeply upon my heart that I may never forget You or be
separated from You. May my name, by your loving kindness, be written In
You, because in You I desire to place all my happiness and all my glory in
living and dying in every bondage to you.
Act of Consecration of the Human Race to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Most sweet Jesus, Redeemer of the human race, look down upon us humbly
prostrate before Thy altar. We are Thine, and Thine we wish to be; but, to
be more surely united with Thee, behold each one of us freely consecrates
himself today to Thy Most Sacred Heart. Many indeed have never known
Thee; many too, despising Thy precepts, have rejected Thee. Have mercy on
them all, most merciful Jesus, and draw them to Thy Sacred Heart.
Be Thou King, O Lord, not only of the faithful who have never forsaken
Thee, but also of the prodigal children who have abandoned Thee; grant that
they may quickly return to their Father's house lest they die of
wretchedness and hunger.
Be Thou King of those who are deceived by erroneous opinions, or whom
discord keeps aloof; call them back to the harbor of truth and unity of faith,
so that soon there may be but one flock and one Shepherd.
Be Thou King of all those who are still involved in the darkness of idolatry
or of Islamism; refuse not to draw them all into the light and kingdom of
God. Turn Thine eyes of mercy toward the children of that race, once Thy
chosen people: of old they called down upon themselves the Blood of the
Savior; may it now descend upon them a laver of redemption and of life.

Grant, O Lord, to Thy Church assurance of freedom and immunity from

harm; give peace and order to all nations, and make the earth resound from
pole to pole with one cry: Praise to the Divine Heart that wrought our
salvation; to It be glory and Honor forever. Amen
Litany of Reparation to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus
(Kindly kneel)

O Jesus, Divine Savior, deign to cast a look of mercy upon Your children,
who assemble in the same spirit of Faith, Reparation and love, and come to
deplore their own infidelities and those of all poor sinners, their brethren.
May we touch your Divine Heart by the unanimous and solemn promise we
are about to make and obtain mercy for ourselves for the world, and for all
who are so unhappy as not to love You.
We all promise that for the future:
For the forgetfulness and ingratitude of We promise to console You oh Jesus
men;
For the way You are deserted in Your We promise to console You oh Jesus
holy Tabernacles;
For the crimes of sinners We promise to console You oh Jesus
For the hatred of the impious We promise to console You oh Jesus
For the blasphemies uttered against You We promise to console You oh Jesus
For the Sacrileges that profane Your We promise to console You oh Jesus
sacrament of Love
For the outrages against Your divinity We promise to console You oh Jesus

For the incomprehensible hardness of our We promise to console You oh Jesus

hearts
For our long delay in loving You We promise to console You oh Jesus
For our tepidity in Your holy service We promise to console You oh Jesus
For Your bitter sadness at the loss of We promise to console You oh Jesus

For Your loving sighs We promise to console You oh Jesus
For Your loving tears We promise to console You oh Jesus
For Your loving imprisonment We promise to console You oh Jesus
For Your loving death We promise to console You oh Jesus
Let us pray:
O Jesus! Divine Saviour, from whose Heart comes froth this bitter
complaint: “I looked for one that would comfort Me and I found none.”
Graciously accept the feeble consolation we offer You, and aid us so
powerfully by Your grace, that we may for the time to come, shun more and
more all that can displease You and prove ourselves in everything, and
everywhere, and forever Your most faithful and devoted servants. We ask
this through Your Sacred Heart, O Lord, who live and reign with the Father
and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.
Memorare to The Sacred Heart of Jesus
Remember, O Most kind Jesus, that one who have had recourse to Your
Sacred Heart, implored its assistance, or called for mercy, have ever been
abandoned. Filled and animated by this same confidence, O Divine Heart,
Ruler of all hearts, I fly to You, and oppressed beneath the weight of my
sins, I prostrate myself before You. Despise not Your unworthy child, but
grant me, I pray, an entrance into Your Sacred Heart. Sustain me in all my
combats and be with me now, and at all times, but especially in the hour of
my death. O gracious Jesus! O amiable Jesus! O loving Jesus! Amen.
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
