Litany of the Twelve Promises

 

Heart of Jesus; burning with love for us:

R. Inflame our hearts with love of Thee.

O Heart of Jesus, behold us prostrate before Thee, to adore Thee, to praise Thee, to thank Thee, to make reparation for our past faults, and to consecrate ourselves to Thy love.

Bearing in mind Thy magnificent Promises to those who honor and love Thy Sacred Heart, we say to Thee with the utmost confidence:

Heart of Jesus, give us all the graces necessary for our state in life. Thou hast promised it, O Jesus. *

Heart of Jesus, grant peace to our families. *

Heart of Jesus, console us in all our sorrows. *

Heart of Jesus, be our safe Refuge during life, and above all at the hour of our death. *

Heart of Jesus, pour abundant blessings on all our labors. *

Heart of Jesus, be for sinners the Source and Infinite Ocean of Mercy. *

Heart of Jesus, make indifferent souls fervent. *

Heart of Jesus, make fervent souls advance rapidly to perfection. *

Heart of Jesus, bless the houses where Thine image is exposed and honored. *

Heart of Jesus, give to priests the power of touching the most hardened hearts. *

Heart of Jesus, engrave on Thy Heart forever the names of those who propagate this devotion. *

Heart of Jesus, give those who receive Holy Communion nine consecutive First Fridays, the grace of final repentance, that they may not die under Thy displeasure, but, strengthened by the reception of the Sacraments, may Thy Heart be their secure refuge at their last hour. *

O sweetest Heart of Jesus, I implore:

R. That I may ever love Thee more and more.

Lord Jesus, remember the promises which, in the infinite mercy of Thy Divine Heart, Thou didst make to Saint Margaret Mary. Be the Protector of our life, the Strength of our weakness, the Repairer of our faults, the Completion of our virtues, our Refuge at the hour of death. Amen.

O God, Who hast prepared for those who love Thee such good things as pass man's understanding: pour into our hearts such love toward Thee, that, loving Thee in and above all things, we may obtain Thy promises, which exceed all that we can desire. Through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen.
