Cardinal Newman’s Prayer to the Sacred Heart
Cardinal Newman’s Prayer to the Sacred Heart
Most sacred, most loving Heart of Jesus, you are concealed
in the Holy Eucharist. I worship you with all my best lover
and awe, with deep affection, and with my most resolved
will. For a while you take up your home within me. O make
my heart beat with your Heart! Purify it of all that is
earthly, all that is proud, of all perversity, and of all
disorder. So fill it with you, that neither the events of
the day, nor the circumstances of the time, may have the
power ruffle it; but that in your love and your fear, it
may have peace. Amen.
