Prayer of Saint Madeleine Sophie Barat

Novena of confidence to Jesus' Sacred Heart through the intercession of St Madeleine Sophie

 

 

Favourite prayer of Saint Madeleine Sophie Barat:

Sacred Heart of Jesus,
I run and come to you,
because You are My unique refuge,
my sole but certain hope.

You are the remedy for all my ills,
the solace for all my miseries,
The reparation for all my faults.
You make up for all that is lacking in me,
You are the certainty of my requests.
You are for me the infallible and untarnished source
Of light and strength,
of peace and of blessing.

I am sure that you will never weary of me,
That You will never stop loving me,
Helping me and protecting me
Because your love for me is infinite.

Have pity on me then, Lord,
because of your great mercy
And do with me, in me and for me,
whatever you will,
For I abandon myself to you
with the full and entire confidence
That you will never abandon me.
AMEN.

 

 

Prayer of Saint Madeleine Sophie Barat:

Jesus my life,

let us make a pact together:

 

grant that I may die so entirely to myself

that You alone may live in me.

 

Grant that the silence within me be deep

that You alone may speek in me and through me.

 

Grant me the grace to keep still 

that You alone may work in me and through me as You please.

 

Amen !

Lord Jesus!

Through the intercession of
Saint Madeleine Sophie

To your Sacred Heart I confide
(this intention)
only look...
Then do what your Heart inspires
I count on it...
I trust in it...
I throw myself on its mercy.
Lord Jesus!
You will not fail me.
