THE LITANY OF THE MOST SACRED HEART OF JESUS

 

THE LITANY OF THE MOST SACRED HEART OF JESUS 

The litany contains a total of 33 invocations, one for each year of our Lord’s life on earth. A partial indulgence is attached to this litany.

The Litany of the Most Sacred Heart is a way to express love and devotion to the Sacred Heart, His Heart which burns for love of you! Meditate on the various attributes of His Heart and, in doing so, fill your heart with a loving fire and an invigorating strength to trust in Him.

This prayer said with love not only inflames our own hearts but also acts as a reparation, a way to console the Heart of Jesus, for the coldness and ingratitude from those who reject His Love. 

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I implore that I may ever love Thee more and more.
