The Immaculate Heart of Mary

O heart most pure of the Blessed Virgin Mary, obtain for me from Jesus a pure and humble heart.

Sacred Heart of Mary

Most Blessed Mother,

Heart of love, heart of mercy,

Ever listening, caring, consoling, hear our prayer.

As your children,

We implore your intercession with Jesus your Son.

Receive with understanding and compassion

The petitions we place before you today,

Especially ... (special intention).

We are comforted in knowing

Your heart is ever open to those Who ask for your prayer.

We trust to your gentle care and intercession,

Those whom we love and who are sick or lonely or hurting.

Help all of us, Holy Mother,

To bear our burdens in this life

Until we may share eternal life

And peace with God forever.

Amen.

The Immaculate Heart of Mary

Act of Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

O most pure heart of Mary, full of goodness, show your love towards us. Let the flame of your heart, O Mary, descend on all people. We love you immensely. Impress on our hearts true love so that we may long for you. O Mary, gentle and humble of heart, remember us when we sin. You know that all people sin. Grant that through your most pure and motherly heart, we may be healed from every spiritual sickness. Grant that we may always experience the goodness of your motherly heart, and that through the flame of your heart we may be converted. Amen.
