Lord, you promise help both for the tepid and for the fervent (7th and 8th Promises).
I know I can be both of these things, but also how easily I become lukewarm in everything, but especially in living as a Christian. May I rediscover the joy of your love and live my life in hope. When I live according to your will, such a burden is lifted from me. You alone can give this fervour. Give me the desire to ask for it, and in my fervour give me discernment not to discourage or alienate others.
“Lord Jesus, let my heart never rest until it finds you who are its centre, its love and its happiness.
By the wound in your heart, pardon the sins I have committed whether out of malice or evil desires.
Place my weak heart in your divine heart, continually under your protection and guidance, so that I may persevere in doing good and in fleeing evil until my last breath. Amen”
(St Margaret Mary)
I ask you especially for [here name your intention].
Our Father – Hail Mary – Glory Be
My God, I offer you all my prayers, works, joys and sufferings in union with the Sacred Heart of Jesus, for the intentions for which he pleads and offers himself in the holy sacrifice of the Mass, in thanksgiving for your favours, in reparation for my sins, and in humble supplication for my temporal and eternal welfare, for the needs of our holy Mother the Church, for the conversion of sinners, and for the relief of the poor souls in purgatory.
Now pray the Litany of the Sacred Heart (optional)
