THE CHAPLET OF THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS consists of 33 small beads (in commemoration of the 33 years that Christ lived on earth), 6 large beads, a medal of the Sacred Heart as centerpiece, and a crucifix. Some chaplets have additional medals for the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary linked with the Crucifix.
In the name of the Father,
and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit
Amen.
Soul of Christ, sanctify us.
Heart of Christ, inflame us.
Body of Christ, save us.
Blood of Christ, inebriate us.
Water from the side of Christ, wash us.
Passion of Christ, strengthen us.
O good Jesus, hear us.
Within Thy wounds hide us.
From Thy side, never part us.
From the malicious enemy, defend us.
In the hour of our death, call us.
and come unto Thee, bid us
That, with Thy saints, we may praise Thee
For all eternity.
Amen.
[Then, briefly touch each of the attached medals, saying…]
Sweet Heart of Jesus, be our love.
Sweet Heart of Mary, be our salvation.
Our Father…
Sacred Heart of Jesus, we implore that we may love You more and more.
Hail Mary…
Sacred Heart of Jesus, we trust in You!
Glory Be…
Sacred Heart of Jesus, be our salvation!
Note: This is also the first of the five large beads referred to for the next set of prayers.
We love you Lord,
who suffered agony in the Garden of Gethsemane
and who today, in the Blessed Sacrament,
is outraged at the impiety
and ingratitude of Your people.
Give us your Love,
help us to Love you more,
you who alone are holy,
you who alone are Lord,
the Most High, Jesus Christ.
Lord, we adore your Sacred Heart,
inflame in our hearts the Divine Love
with which your own is inflamed.
Lord Jesus, meek and humble of heart,
make our hearts like yours.
O Lord, you give your Sacred Heart to humanity
in the Mystery of the Altar
for the salvation of our souls,
may your sacrifice not be made in vain.
Hear our prayers,
have mercy on us
and forgive our sins.
We desire to honor you in the Blessed Sacrament,
(glorify you in our thoughts, words and actions,
and thank and praise you always.)
We weep for and detest
the impiety and ingratitude of your people,
call us back to the heart of your Church.
We offer you our hearts in reparation for sin.
(Remove from them what is displeasing to you,
dispose them according to your will,
and inspire them with sentiments like yours.)
Draw us near to you, Sacred Heart,
through the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
and be our refuge at death,
that we may come to praise for all eternity
the Divine Love with which your Sacred Heart
burns for humanity.
We ask this in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Sacred Heart of Jesus,
we place our trust in you.
O Lord Jesus Christ who,
by an ineffable miracle of love,
hast deigned to give Your Heart to humanity
to serve as their nourishment,
in order thereby to gain their hearts.
Graciously hear our humble prayers,
and pardon us for the sins of which
we confess ourselves guilty before You.
Cast an eye of compassion and mercy
upon those towards whom You condescend
to direct the affections of Your amiable Heart.
And since we desire to honor You
in the adorable Mystery of the Altar
to the utmost of our power
and to render You a most pleasing homage
and for that intention,
weep for and detest from the bottom of our hearts
all the outrages, contempt, mockery,
sacrileges, and other acts of impiety
which ungrateful people in every part of the world
have committed against You,
enkindle therefore in our hearts this divine love
with which Your Own is inflamed,
and inspire us with sentiments like Yours,
in order that we may be able worthily
to praise for all eternity
the love with which this Sacred Heart burns for us.
This is our prayer to You who lives and reigns with the Father,
in unity of the Holy Spirit
forever and ever.
Amen.
Hail, O most loving Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
We venerate You.
We love and honor You.
We give and consecrate ourselves to You forever.
Receive us and possess us entirely.
Purify, enlighten and sanctify us
so that we may love You, Jesus, with the heart of Mary,
and love you Mary, with the Heart of Jesus.
O Heart of Jesus living in Mary and by Mary.
O heart of Mary living in Jesus and for Jesus.
O Heart of Jesus, pierced for our sins
and giving us your Mother on Calvary!
O Heart of Mary, pierced by sorrow
and sharing in the sufferings of your divine Son for our redemption!
O sacred union of these Two Hearts!
Praised be the God of Love who united them together!
May He unite our hearts and every heart
so that all hearts may live in unity
in imitation of that sacred unity
which exists in these Two Hearts.
Triumph, O Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary!
Reign, O Most Sacred Heart of Jesus!
— in our hearts, in our homes and families,
in Your Church, in the lives of the faithful,
in the hearts of those who as yet do not know you,
and in all nations of the world.
Establish in the hearts of all humanity
the sovereign triumph and reign of your Two Hearts
so that the earth may resound from pole to pole with one cry:
Blessed be forever the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus
and the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary!
Obtain for us a greater purity of heart
and a fervent love of the spiritual life.
May all our actions be done for the greater glory of God
in union with the divine heart of Jesus
and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Hear and answer our prayers and intentions
according to your most merciful will….
[mention your petition]
Amen.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us.
May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be praised,
glorified, loved and preserved
throughout the world now and forever more…
In the name of the Father,
and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit
Amen.
