“From childhood the Heart of Jesus has been my first love ... Every Friday is the feast of the Sacred Heart for me. I love the Mass of the Sacred Heart- for in the words of the offertory re-echo the words of 10 Sept.: ‘will you do this for me’.” (Mother Teresa)
Remember,
O Jesus, meek and humble of Heart,
that in what need soever,
no one who had recourse
to Your most loving Heart
was ever rejected or sent away unrelieved.
Animated with this confidence,
Jesus, we come to you;
burdened with miseries we fly to You,
and with our miseries
we throw ourselves on your Heart.
Do not, O God, our Father,
cast us off, your all-unworthy children,
but give us admittance, we beseech you,
into your Sacred Heart,
suffer us never to be separated therefrom.
Aid us, we entreat you
in all our wants now and forever,
but above all at the hour of our death,
O most benign,
O most compassionate,
O most sweet Jesus.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, we trust in You.
(Novena prayed every month by Mother Teresa and the Missionaries of Charity in preparation for the First Friday of the month, traditionally dedicated to the Sacred Heart).
