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.

Prayer against Depression - by Saint Ignatius of Loyola


✝️O Christ Jesus,
when all is darkness
and we feel our weakness and helplessness,
give us the sense of Your presence,
Your love, and Your strength.
Help us to have perfect trust
in Your protecting love
and strengthening power,
so that nothing may frighten or worry us,
for, living close to You,
we shall see Your hand,
Your purpose, Your will through all things.

Heavenly Father,


In the quiet moments of my heart, I come before You, recognizing Your sovereignty over all creation. Today, I choose to surrender all that I am and all that I hold dear to Your divine purposes. Like clay in the hands of the Potter, mold me according to Your will, not my own.


Grant me the courage to let go of my plans, to trust in Your eternal design with unwavering faith. Illuminate my path with Your light, leading me into a deeper understanding of my purpose in Your grand landscape. May my heart echo Your love, my actions reflect Your grace, and my life serve as a testament to Your glory.


In moments of doubt, remind me of Your promises, and in times of struggle, wrap me in Your peace. For in surrendering to You, I find true freedom. Let my life be a song of praise, a humble offering of total devotion to Your will. In Jesus' mighty name, I pray.


Amen.

Adorable Heart of Jesus, glowing with love for us and inflamed with zeal for our salvation. 

O Heart that understands the misery to which our sins have brought us, infinitely rich in mercy to hear the wounds of our souls, behold me humbly kneeling before You to express the sorrow that fills my heart for the coldness and indifference with which I have so long returned the numberless benefits which You have bestowed upon me.

With a deep sense of the outrages that have been heaped upon You by my sins and the sins of others, I wish to make reparation to Your most Sacred Majesty.

It was our sins that filled your Heart with bitterness; it was the weight of our guilt that pressed down Your face to the earth in the Garden of Olives and caused you to die in agony on the Cross.  But now, repentant and sorrowful, I implore Your forgiveness.

Adorable Heart of Jesus, Source of true consolation and ever merciful to the penitent sinner, impart to our hearts the spirit of penance that we may be sincerely sorry for our sins. Pardon them, O Lord, in Your mercy, and let all who have sinned against You in the Sacrament of Your love be converted and return to You.  Deliver us for our sins.  And in order to repair the sins of ingratitude by which we have grieved You most tender and loving Heart, may we love and honor You in the most adorable Sacrament of the Altar, where You are present to hear and grant petitions and to be the food and life of our souls.

Merciful Jesus, be our Mediator with Your heavenly Father, whom we have so grievously offended.  Help us to amend our ways.  As Your Sacred Heart is our refuge and our hope when we have sinned, so let it be the strength and support of our repentance, and nothing in life or death shall ever separate us from You.  Amen

St Joan of Arc, give me strength:
In this, my time of need, I beg thee to come to my aid.
I humbly ask thee to help me bear my trials with honour,
As I remember you in your earthly agonies.




Blessed Joan, duty bound to God, give me courage:
You who left family and friends to enter into God’s service,
Devout and valiant to uphold righteousness to the end,
While being insulted and harmed by your enemies.




Holy Joan, daughter of God, give me fortitude:
Help me to prevail in life and death over evil,
While bearing my injuries with the dignity you showed
When wounded in the breast, head, thigh, and heel.




Pious Joan, help me to be fearless:
Abandoned by the king you yourself had crowned,
Captured and sold to the highest bidder,
You put your trust in the King of Heaven to deliver you.




Venerable Joan, help me to be unwavering in my faith:
Beaten, bruised, questioned and accused,
You were denied that which you loved most:
Communion, confession, mass and public prayer.




Heroic Joan, help me to uphold justice:
Imprisoned, neglected, threatened and condemned,
Sentenced to die as a heretic, the most cruelest death,
To die by the fire and be raised up in heaven!




Glorious Virgin, please intercede for me:




(Share your request…)




Hear this petition and my heartfelt plea.
Pray for me in this, my time of need,
For I believe God will deny you nothing. Amen.

Memorare to The Sacred Heart of Jesus

Remember, O most kind Jesus, that
none 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

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.

PRAYERS FOR PROTECTION,HEALING, AND GOD'S DIRECTION

HEAVENLY KING, You have given us archangels to assist us during our pilgrimage on earth.  SAINT MICHAEL is our protector. I ask him to come to my aid, fight for all my loved ones, and protect us from danger.  SAINT GABRIEL is a messenger of the Good News; I ask him to help me clearly hear Your voice and to teach me the truth. SAINT RAPHAEL is the healing angel; I ask him to take my need for healing and that of everyone I know, lift it up to Your throne of grace and deliver us back to the gift of recovery.
Help us, O Lord, to realize more fully the reality of Your Holy Archangels and their desire to serve us.

ARCHANGELS MICHAEL, GABRIEL AND RAPHAEL, we invoke your powerful intercession before the throne of God in heaven. By your spiritual assistance, protect us from harm, heal us of our infirmities, and convey to us God’s will for our lives.

HOLY ARCHANGELS, I BESEECH YOU TO KEEP AWAY FROM ME THE ENEMIES THAT SURROUND ME, THE DEFAMERS, TRAITORS and ENVIOUS PETTY INDIVIDUALS.  I PLEAD THAT YOU REPEL FROM ME ANYONE FROM ME SEEKING TO HARM ME WITH WORDS and ACTIONS. DELIVER US FROM ACCIDENTS, DANGERS AND DISASTERS, GRANTING US SAFE JOURNEY IN ALL OUR ENDEAVORS. YOUR PROTECTION IS OURS IN MOMENTS OF DANGERS AND FEARS. GUARD OUR HOMES, OUR FAMILIES AND EVERYTHING THAT IS VALUABLE TO US, WHETHER MATERIAL OR SPIRITUAL.  AMEN.
