A beautiful nine-day prayer to grow closer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This traditional novena helps us understand and respond to the infinite love of Christ.
About the Sacred Heart Novena
The Sacred Heart Novena is a traditional nine-day prayer that helps us grow closer to the Heart of Jesus. The Sacred Heart of Jesus is a symbol of His divine love for humanity - a love that is infinite, unconditional, and everlasting.
Jesus' Heart was pierced on the cross, and from it flowed blood and water - symbols of the sacraments of Baptism and the Eucharist, through which He continues to pour out His love upon us.
This novena helps us to understand the depth of Jesus' love for us and to respond to that love with our own love and devotion. It teaches us to trust in His mercy and to make reparation for our sins.
