On Friday, June 19th, the Catholic Church celebrates The Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The devotion to the Sacred Heart is one whereby we see Jesus Christ’s physical heart as the representation of his divine love for humanity; a beautiful visual indeed; and one we need especially now, as we all deal with the tragic death of George Floyd, and the attention it has drawn to social injustice and inequality. So this week, our prayer theme will be to pray to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, for those intentions we hold in the silence of our hearts.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Holy Heart of Jesus, Sweet Sanctuary of rest, bring peace to my soul and settle my spirit, hear my petition that I speak in the silence of my heart. (Petition). I vow to place all of my worries and fears into your Sacred Heart; my hope is in your loving embrace. Your love alone is enough, and I surrender to it; clinging to the hope of a swift resolution and trusting with confidence in all of your promises.
Heart of Jesus, my hope, hear and answer me.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
