Prayer of Confidence 

PRAYER OF CONFIDENCE

[Which may be said daily before the image of the Sacred Heart.]


Most Sweet Jesus, I wish to love Thee with all my heart for Thou art

indeed my best and dearest Friend.


I am sorry for having offended Thee. By the love of Thy Sacred Heart

help me to sin no more.

To supply for my coldness and want of love I offer Thee: the love of

St. Peter and St. Paul, the love of St. John and St. Magdalen, the

love of all Thine Apostles and Saints. Above all, I offer Thee the

love of Thy Holy Mother and St. Joseph.


In the name of all these Holy Saints, I beg Thee, dear Jesus, to make

me love Thee.

I implore Thee to forgive me all my sins. I beg Thee most earnestly

to give me boundless confidence in Thee.


I ask Thee to grant me the fullness of the graces Thou hast promised

to all who are devoted to Thy Sacred Heart. Thou wisheth to enter the

houses of all. Come, then, dear Jesus, into my house, into my room,

into my heart and remain with me always.


I receive Thee with the same love with which Zacchaeus received Thee;

with the same affection with which Martha and Mary received Thee; I

offer Thee the love with which Holy Mary and St. Joseph received Thee

each time Thou didst enter the house of Nazareth. Give me a little of

the love and the peace that thou gavest to them.


Grant me the grace of a most holy and happy death. Bless me and

protect me against all evils, dangers and temptations. Above all,

teach me to love Thee.


Sacred Heart of Jesus I have confidence in Thee, immense, unbounded

confidence in Thee, always and for everything. When I say that I have

confidence in Thee I wish to offer Thee all the confidence and love

of Thine own Blessed Mother.
