PRAYER OF THE DAY

Prayer to Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque

Saint Margaret Mary,
thou who wast made a partaker of the divine treasures of the Sacred Heart of Jesus,
obtain for us, we beseech thee,
from this adorable Heart,
the graces we need so sorely.

We ask these favors of thee with unbounded confidence.
May the divine Heart of Jesus be pleased to bestow them upon us through thy intercession,
so that once again He may be loved and glorified through thee.

Amen.

V. Pray for us, O blessed Margaret;
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray.

O Lord Jesus Christ,
who didst wondrously open the unsearchable riches of Thy Heart to blessed Margaret Mary,
the virgin:
grant unto us,
by her merits and our imitation of her,
that we may love Thee in all things and above all things,
and may be worthy to have our everlasting dwelling in the same Sacred Heart:
who livest and reignest,
world without end.

Amen.
