Pray twice daily.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus,
I accept from Your hands,
whatever kind of death it may please You to send me today (tonight),
with all its pains,
penalties and sorrows,
in reparation for my sins,
for the souls in purgatory,
for those conversion of sinners,
for all those who will die today (tonight),
and for Your greater glory.
Amen.
Angel of God
My guardian dear
To Whom His love
Commits me here
Ever this day
Be at my side
To light and guard
To rule and guide.
Amen
Immortal God, holy Lord,
Father and Protector of all You have created,
we raise our hearts to You today for those
who have passed out of this mortal life.
In Your loving mercy, Father of all,
be pleased to receive them in Your heavenly company,
and forgive the failings and faults
they may have done from human frailty.
Your only Son, Christ, our Saviour,
suffered so cruelly that
He might deliver them from the second death.
By his merits may they share in the glory
of His victory over sin and death.
For all the faithful who have died we pray,
but in particular for those dear to us,
parents, relatives and friends.
nor do we forget all who did good to us while on earth,
who helped us by their prayers, sacrifice and example.
We pray also for any who may have done us harm,
and stand in special need of Your forgiveness.
May the merits and prayers of our Virgin Mother,
Mary, and those of all the Angels and Saints,
speak for us and assist them now.
This we ask in Christ’s name.
Amen.
Creator Spirit, come and visit the souls that are Yours:
fill with heavenly grace the hearts that You created.
You are called by the names of Paraclete,
gift of God most high, spring of life,
fire, love and the soul’s anointing.
Seven gifts are Yours to give.
You are the finger of the Father’s right hand.
You, the clear promise of the Father,
give men’s tongues the grace of speech.
Kindle a light in our minds,
pour love into our hearts
and uphold with Your unfailing strength
the frailty of our human nature.
Drive our enemy far from us
and give us always the gift of peace;
so may it be that,
with Your grace ever guiding us in this way,
we may avoid all that is sinful.
Grant that through You
we may know the Father and the Son,
and may we ever believe You
to be the Spirit of both
the Father and the Son.
Glory be to God the Father,
and to the Son,
who rose from the dead,
and to the Paraclete
for ever and ever.
Amen.
O Holy Spirit,
I humbly impore You,
be with me always
so that in all things,
I may act under the influence
of Your holy inspiration.
Amen.
Eternal Father,
I offer Thee the Sacred Heart of Jesus,
with all its love,
all its sufferings and all its merits.
First —
To expiate all the sins
I have committed this day and during all my life.
Gloria Patri.
Second —
To purify the good I have done poorly this day
and during all my life.
Gloria Patri.
Third —
To supply for the good I ought to have done,
and that I have neglected this day and all my life.
Gloria Patri.
A Poor Clare sister who had just died, appeared to her
Abbess who was praying for her, and said to her: “I
went straight to heaven, for, by means of this prayer,
recited every evening, I paid all my debts.”
O Jesus, through the immaculate heart of Mary, I offer you my prayers, works, joys and sufferings of this day in union with the holy sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world. I offer them for all the intentions of your sacred heart: the salvation of souls, reparation for sin, the reunion of all Christians. I offer them for the intentions of our bishops and of all the apostles of prayer, and in particular for those recom- mended by our Holy Father this month.
God the Father,
I thank Thee for creating me.
God the Son,
I thank Thee for redeeming me.
God the Holy Ghost,
I thank Thee for sanctifying me;
infuse into my thoughts,
words and actions Thy grace,
so that they may be supernaturally pleasing to Thee
and supernaturally rewarding to me, forever.
O Blessed Trinity,
abundantly assist me in becoming that
which Thou intended me to become when Thou created me,
for in that perfection
I will give Thee the glory Thou desirest of me,
and in that perfection I will find my greatest joy in
heaven.
Amen.
Sacred Heart of Jesus today I wish to live in You, in Your grace, in which I desire at all costs to persevere. Keep me from sin and strengthen my will by helping me to keep watch over my senses, my imagination, and my heart. Help me to correct my faults which are the source of sin. I beg You to do this, O Jesus, through Mary, Your Immaculate Mother.
O God, Who dost deign mercifully to bestow upon us infinite treasures of love in the Heart of Thy Son, which was wounded for our sins; grant, we beseech Thee, that we who pay Him the devout homage of our piety, may in like manner show unto Thee our due of worthy satisfaction.
Through the same Christ our Lord.
Amen
