Prayer: Prayer to the Sacred Heart
O most holy Heart of Jesus, fountain of every blessing, I adore You, I love You, and with lively sorrow for my sins I offer You this poor heart of mine. Make it gentle, make it generous, make it quietly brave — like Yours. Let it love what You love: the Father's will, the least of these, the person in front of me. I give You my thoughts, my work, my weariness today. Burn away what cannot stay. Jesus, meek and humble of Heart, make my heart like unto Thine. Amen.

A prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Pray to the Sacred Heart of Jesus when you want to place your relationships, wounds, gratitude or desire to love others before Christ. Read the short prayer first, then sit with one line and let it lead to a concrete act of mercy, repair or patience.
The page distinguishes a current published prayer from the wider Sacred Heart devotion and its litany. It does not promise that devotion removes conflict or suffering; it points toward friendship with Jesus, reparation and love of neighbor.
The 12 promises (to St. Margaret Mary)
Among them: grace for each state of life · peace in families · comfort in afflictions · refuge in life and especially at death · great blessings on all undertakings · a merciful heart toward sinners · fervor for the lukewarm · names written in His Heart — and for those who receive Communion on nine consecutive First Fridays: "the grace of final perseverance". Devotion with a warranty from Christ Himself.
Its feast
Friday, 19 days after Pentecost (June). The Immaculate Heart of Mary follows the next day — the Church keeps the two Hearts inseparable, as they were in Nazareth.
