PRAYER FOR
PARDON AND GRACE
Act of Contrition to the
Sacred Heart
MOST Sacred and
Adorable Heart of Jesus!
humbly and with contrite heart I prostrate myself before Thee. bitterly
bewailing that I was remiss in Thy love and have offended Thee by my
ingratitude
and unfaithfulness, thereby becoming unworthy of the manifestations of
Thy love. Filled with confusion and fear, I can but say, "I have sinned
against Thee, I have sinned!" Most Amiable and Divine Heart, have mercy
on me, though I do not deserve mercy. Reject me not, but reveal,
rather,
I beseech Thee, the excess of Thy mercy by granting me, a poor sinner,
who appears before Thee in the abyss of his nothingness and misery,
pardon
for my sins.
Prayer for Pardon and Grace
O DIVINE REDEEMER!
humbly prostrate at the foot of Thy Cross,
I call upon Thee to incline Thy Sacred
Heart to pardon me.
Jesus, misjudged and despised-----have
mercy on me!
Jesus, calumniated and persecuted-----have
mercy on me!
Jesus, abandoned by men and tempted in
the desert-----have mercy on me!
Jesus, betrayed and sold-----have
mercy on me!
Jesus, insulted, accused, and unjustly
condemned-----have mercy on me!
Jesus, clothed in a robe of ignominy and
contempt-----have mercy on me!
Jesus, mocked and scoffed at-----have
mercy on me!
Jesus, bound with cords and led through
the streets-----have mercy on me!
Jesus, treated as a fool and classed with
malefactors-----have mercy on me!
Jesus, cruelly scourged-----have
mercy on me!
Jesus, held inferior to Barabbas-----have
mercy on me!
Jesus, despoiled of Thy garments-----have
mercy on me!
Jesus, crowned with thorns and reviled-----have
mercy on me!
Jesus, bearing the Cross amid the maledictions
of the people-----have mercy on me!
Jesus, bowed down by ignominies, pain,
and humiliations-----have mercy on
me!
Jesus, crucified between thieves-----have
mercy on me!
Jesus, dying for my sins amid all kinds
of suffering-----have mercy on me!
LET US PRAY
SACRED HEART of Jesus, my Redeemer! Exercise, I beseech Thee, Thy office of mediator with me, and permit not that Thy sufferings and cruel death be in vain for my salvation, but let them bring forth, for Thy glory, fruits of salvation in me, that my heart may love, praise, and glorify Thee for ever and ever. Amen.
