 Will of the heart of Jesus, Dispose of my heart.

Zeal of the heart of Jesus, Absorb my heart.

Immaculate Virgin, pray for us to the heart of Jesus.

Adorable Trinity, we thank thee for all the graces with which thou hast loaded thy servant, the Blessed Margaret Mary ; and beg through her intercession for the favors we hope to obtain through this Novena.

TERNAL FATHER, suffer me to offer thee the heart of Jesus Christ, thy beloved Son, as he himself offered it in sacrifice to thee. Receive this offering for me, as well as all the desires, sentiments, affections, movements, and acts of this sacred heart. They are all mine, since he offered himself for me, and henceforth I wish to have no other desires but his. Receive them in satisfaction for my sins, and in thanksgiving for all thy benefits. Grant me through his merits all the graces necessary for my salvation, especially that of final perseverance. Receive them as so many acts of love, adoration, and praise, which I offer to thy divine Majesty, since it is through the heart of Jesus that thou art worthily honored and glorified. Amen.
