Shorter Novena Prayer before the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

O Sacred Heart of Jesus, We come before you today with confidence, knowing you never abandon those who trust in You. We see suffering, pain, division, and hatred in the world, alongside those lost and searching for meaning. We bring all these prayers before you, Jesus, seeking your healing touch.

Help us see the world through your compassionate and understanding eyes. Grant us the strength to forgive and love our enemies. Make us instruments of your peace and love, building a world where everyone is treated with dignity and respect, caring for your gift, our planet.

Most of all, Jesus, help us grow deeper in love for you each day.

As the Feast of Your Sacred Heart approaches, O God of boundless love, we kneel with open hearts. Prepare us for this holy celebration. Ignite our minds with your word and touch our spirits with the flame of your compassion. May this novena strengthen our devotion to your Sacred Heart and guide our steps to follow your will. We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Our Father…   Hail Mary…   Glory Be…
