Day Nine

FRIDAY, JUNE 7
Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus

Every Family On Earth And In Heaven Is Cared For By The Sacred Heart Of Jesus

Let us pray
+ In the name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

O Sacred Heart of Jesus, we entrust to you our own family and the whole human family. Show us, Lord, the treasures of love, goodness and mercy in your heart so we may be truly loving, good and merciful.

We now listen to God’s Word.

(Ephesians 3:14-17)

For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth takes its name. I pray that, according to the riches of his glory, he may grant that you may be strengthened in your inner being with power through his Spirit, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, as you are being rooted and grounded in love. 

(pause for a moment of silent reflection)

O Sacred Heart of Jesus, full of compassion and love, have mercy on all families. Help us, by the power of the Holy Spirit, to be your joyful disciples who form communities of love. May our family be held in your care and may we work for peace and justice for the whole human family.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, we place all our trust in you.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
