PRAYER TO THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS

O God, who mercifully bestow upon us infinite treasures of love from the Heart of Your Son which was wounded for our sins, grant we beseech You, that wc who pay Him devout homage may in like manner show You worthy satisfaction for what we owe. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
