Prayer for Day 1
O Lord Jesus Christ, To your most Sacred Heart, I confide this/these intention:
(mention your intention)

Let your Sacred Heart decide I count on it, I trust in it I throw myself on Your mercy, Lord Jesus! You will not fail me.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, I trust in You.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, I believe in Your love for me.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, Your Kingdom come.
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, I have asked you for many favors, But I earnestly implore this one. Take it.
Place it in Your open, broken Heart; And, when the Eternal Father looks upon It, Covered with Your Precious Blood, He will not refuse it.
It will be no longer my prayer, But Yours, O Jesus. O Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in You.
Let me not be disappointed.
Amen.
