O Sacred Heart of Jesus, the reality of our
deeply wounded and broken country
impels us to respond with new urgency
to the most pressing problems of our times.
deeply wounded and broken country
impels us to respond with new urgency
to the most pressing problems of our times.
We are a broken people. Our hearts are fragmented
and we are discouraged. We need Your Heart,
O Lord, as we seek to be made whole.
Rooted in our faith in You and love for our country,
we want to participate in Your work
of transformation of persons, families,
organizations, and society.
Through the transforming power of the love
of Your Heart, we draw a new dynamism, a
strong inspiration, a fire, which can change
and transfigure our lives as individuals
and as a nation.
(Please pause for a specific intention.)
Love of the Heart of Jesus, give us courage
and patience. Wisdom of the Heart of Jesus,
teach us to pray and to act with hope and charity
at all times. Amen!
Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us!
