Chaplet of the Sacred Heart
This Chaplet is prayed on the regular
Marian Rosary of 59 beads.
On the Crucifix, say the following prayer:
"Angel of God, my guardian dear,
To whom God's love commits me here,
Ever this day be at my side,
To light and guard, to rule and guide."
On the first bead (normally the "Our Father"), say:
"O Eternal Father,
I offer Thee the Blood,
Passion and death of Our Lord Jesus Christ
and the sorrows of Our Blessed Lady
and St. Joseph in reparation for my sins,
in suffrage for the souls in Purgatory,
for the wants of our Holy Church,
and for the conversion of sinners."
On the three beads (normally the "Hail Marys"), say:
"My God, I believe in Thee.
My God, I hope in Thee.
My God, I love Thee with my whole heart,
and for Thy sake I love my neighbor as myself."
On each of the single beads of the 5 decades, (normally an "Our Father"):
"Jesus, meek and humble of heart,
make my heart like unto Thine.
O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for me."
On the 5 sets of 10 beads (Normally the "Hail Marys"), say:
"Sweetest Heart of Jesus,
I implore, that I may love Thee more and more.
Sweet Heart of Mary, be thou my salvation."
When you have concluded, say
"Jesus, Mary, and Joseph,
I give you my heart and soul.
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph,
assist me now and in my last agony.
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph,
may I breathe forth my soul in peace with you."
