An Invitation to Renew Devotion to the Sacred Heart

In this Jubilee Year of Hope, as well as this time of Jubilee honoring the Sacred Heart,

I am inviting us to turn to the sacred Heart of Jesus.

I pray that this might be a time to rediscover and renew your devotion to the heart of Jesus.

When we enter our parish church, let us be intentional in our prayer

about acknowledging and praying to the image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Let us also extend this same focus to the images of the Sacred Heart in our homes.

At this year’s Chrism Mass, the Diocese of Youngstown gifted her priests

with an image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus to display in their prayer space

especially as they answer God’s call to serve with a shepherd’s heart.

Sacred Heart Prayer

O most Sacred Heart of Jesus, fountain of every blessing,

I adore You, I love You, and with 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.

Amen.
