Novena of Confidence to the Sacred Heart – Day 3: Mercy of Sacred Heart
Join in praying the Novena of Confidence to the Sacred Heart with complete trust.
Today's Focus: Mercy of Sacred Heart
On this third day, we focus on praying by throwing ourselves on the mercy of the Sacred Heart. We acknowledge our unworthiness and rely entirely on His infinite mercy and compassion.
Prayer for Day 3
O Lord Jesus Christ, To your most Sacred Heart, I confide this/these intention:
(mention your intention)
Only look upon me, And then do What your Sacred Heart inspires.
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.
Reflection
The mercy of the Sacred Heart is infinite and available to all who seek it. When we throw ourselves on His mercy, we recognize that we cannot save ourselves and need His grace.
As we reflect on this aspect of our relationship with the Sacred Heart of Jesus, let us ask ourselves how we can better place our confidence in Him and entrust all our intentions to His open, broken Heart.
May the Sacred Heart of Jesus continue to bless us with His love and mercy, and may we always remember that He will not fail those who trust in Him.
