Prayer to the Sacred
Heart
by Saint Francis De Sales
May Thy Heart dwell always in our hearts!
May Thy Blood ever flow in the veins of our souls!
O sun of our hearts, Thou givest life to all things
by the rays of Thy goodness!
I will not go until Thy Heart has strengthened me,
O Lord Jesus!
May the Heart of Jesus be the King of my heart!
Blessed be God. Amen.

during life and especially at death.

upon all their under takings.
6. Sinners shall find in My Heart
a boundless ocean of mercy.
7. Lukewarm souls shall become fervent.
8. Fervent souls shall rise speedily
to great perfection.

a picture of my Sacred Heart shall be displayed and

of touching the hardest hearts.

on the First Friday of every month for nine consecutive
months, the grace of final perseverance; they shall
not die under my displeasure nor without receiving
the Sacraments and my Divine Heart shall be their
safe refuge at that last hour.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my
trust in you
