Happy Feast of the Sacred Heart from the Province of England and Wales

‍

Sacred Heart of Jesus, give me a heart that is one with your own;

a humble heart that knows and loves its nothingness;

a gentle heart that holds and calms its own anxieties;

a loving heart that has compassion for the suffering of others;

a pure heart that recoils even at the appearance of evil;

a detached heart that longs for nothing other than the goodness of heaven;

a heart detached from self-love and embraced by the love of God, its attention focused on God, its goodness is its only treasure in time and in eternity.    

Amen
