Sacred Heart of Jesus Part VI

Even though the Feast of the Sacred Heart is behind us, it is still the month of the Sacred Heart and I'd been thinking that I should post the litany of the Sacred Heart up here during this month when low-and-behold, it showed up in my mail today via a newsletter from Our Lady of the Angels Monastery. So, here it is for your prayerful consideration:

Let us pray:

Almighty and everlasting God, look upon the Heart of Thy well-beloved Son and upon the acts of praise and satisfaction which He renders unto Thee in the name of sinners; and do Thou, in Thy great goodness, grant pardon to them who seek Thy mercy, in the name of the same, Jesus Christ, who liveth and reigneth with Thee, world without end. Amen
