The Sacred Heart of Jesus Image

Prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

O most holy heart of Jesus, fountain of every blessing, I adore you, I love you, and with lively sorrow for my sins I offer you this poor heart of mine. Make me humble, patient, pure and wholly obedient to your will. Grant, Good Jesus, that I may live in you and for you. Protect me in the midst of danger. Comfort me in my afflictions. Give me health of body, assistance in my temporal needs, your blessing on all that I do, and the grace of a holy death. Amen.

The 12 Promises of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

“I will give them all the graces necessary in their state of life”.

“I will establish peace in their homes”.

“I will comfort them in all their afflictions”.

“I will be their secure refuge during life, and above all, in death”.

“I will bestow abundant blessings upon all their undertakings”.

“Sinners will find in my heart the source and infinite ocean of mercy”.

“Lukewarm souls shall become fervent”.

“Fervent souls shall quickly mount to high perfection”.

“I will bless every place in which an image of my heart is exposed and honored”.

“I will give to priests the gift of touching the most hardened hearts”.

“Those who shall promote this devotion shall have their names written in my heart.”

“My divine Heart shall be their safe refuge in the last moments”.

“There is pretext for discouragement, but no reason for it.  We can become saints in the simple accomplishment of daily life, in the beaten track, the simple path of Nazareth, without adding anything but the great sense of faith and the flame of charity.  Look at Mary in Nazareth–no halo, no pedestal, no miracle. Yet she is the Queen of Heaven.” – Fr. Mateo Crawley-Boevey, a great Apostle to the Sacred Heart.

Ordination Mass on Saturday, May 29, 2021

Listen to the Ordination Mass from St. Paul the Apostle, Westerville:

From columbuscatholic.org:

“Deacons Stephen Ondrey and Jacob Stinnett will be ordained as priests of the Diocese of Columbus by Bishop Robert Brennan in a ceremony beginning at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 29 in Westerville St. Paul Church, 313 N. State St.”

Please pray this adaptation of the Anima Christi with us, as these gentlemen officially start their vocation to the priesthood.

Soul of Christ, sanctify Deacon Stephen Ondrey and Jacob Stinnett.
Body of Christ, save them.
Blood of Christ, inebriate them.
Water from the side of Christ, wash them.
Passion of Christ, strengthen them.

O good Jesus, hear us.
Within Your wounds hide them.
Separated from You, let them never be.
From the evil one protect them.

At the hour of our deaths, call us,
And close to You bid us,
That with Your saints,
We may be praising You forever and ever.
Amen.

40 Days of Adoration

40 Days of Adoration in the Columbus Diocese

Bishop Robert J. Brennan invites everyone to a time of Adoration this Lent.

 

Starting on Ash Wednesday, February 17, the Columbus Diocese will launch 40 Days of Adoration. Every day for 40 days, a different parish throughout the diocese will host Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament for Adoration throughout the day.

Click here for the current calendar of participating parishes.

“…He brought his disciples in the garden and he said to them. ‘Stay with me. Pray with me.‘ That’s what Jesus is inviting us into during Adoration. When we’re in front of the Blessed Sacrament we experience the Lord’s presence in a very profound way. To me, that is what I enjoy most about Adoration – having that moment to simply pour out my heart and maybe say nothing, but just be there with the Lord as a
friend.” Bishop Robert J. Brennan

What is Adoration?

Adoration is basically the worship of the Eucharist or Blessed Sacrament outside of the Mass. The Blessed Sacrament is displayed in a monstrance on the altar so that all can see and pray in His presence. Anyone can go to Adoration.

What do I do in Adoration?

Keep in mind you are in the presence of Christ. When entering, it is proper to genuflect on one or two knees and to cross yourself, as you would anytime you were in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. If there are other Adorers, it is respectful to maintain silence. The exception to this is when Adoration is being led as special service where there may be praying as a group or worship music.

While you are in Adoration, this is your special time with Christ. You can pray, read, or even just sit and enjoy His company and friendship.
