The Chaplet of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Begin: O God, come to my assistance. O Lord, make haste to help me.
On the thirty-three beads, one for each year of Our Lord's earthly life, pray on each:
Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in Thee.
Every eleventh bead:
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, meek and humble of heart, make my heart like unto Thine.
Conclude:
O most holy Heart of Jesus, fountain of every blessing, I adore Thee, I love Thee, and with a lively sorrow for my sins, I offer Thee this poor heart of mine. Make me humble, patient, pure, and wholly obedient to Thy will. Good Jesus, live in me; let all my thoughts, words, and works be pleasing to Thee. Sacred Heart of Jesus, I trust in Thee. Amen.
