Much Loved Prayer

My mother typed this prayer for me several years ago on an old manual typewriter. It was a prayer that she and I said together often in the days when I still lived at home. As you can see, it has been well-used. I say it every day for my parents' health which right now can certainly use a lot of prayer. After realizing that this particular copy was beyond repair, I finally broke down and typed myself a new copy.

My Novena to the Sacred Heart

O Divine Jesus, who hast said: “Ask and you shall receive; seek and you shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto you.” Behold me prostrate at thy feet. Animated with a lively faith and confidence in these promises dictated by Thy Sacred Heart and pronounced by Thy adorable lips, I come to ask

(Here Mention Your Request)

From whom shall I ask, O sweet Jesus, if not from Thee whose heart is an inexhaustible source of all graces and merits. Where shall I seek, if not in the treasure which contains all the riches of Thy Clemency and Bounty. Where shall I knock, if it be not at the door of Thy Sacred Heart, through which you come to us and through which we go to you. Amen.
