Prayers & Novenas - June
The Month of June is dedicated to the Sacred Heart.
We revere the physical heart of Jesus as an emblem of his great love for the human race.
As Jesus said to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque:
"Behold this Heart which has so loved men that it has spared nothing, even to exhausting and consuming itself, in order to testify its love."

Grant perseverance to the just, convert sinners, enlighten infidels, bless our parents, friends, and benefactors, assist the dying, free the souls in purgatory, and extend over all hearts the sweet empire of Your love.

Make me humble, patient, pure and wholly obedient to Your will. Grant, good Jesus, that I may live in You and for You. Protect me in the midst of danger.
Comfort me in my afflictions. Give me health of body, assistance in my temporal needs, Your blessing on all that I do, and the grace of a holy death. Amen.

continually under Your protection and guidance,
so that I may persevere in doing good
and in fleeing evil until my last breath.
Amen.
