[This thread could go into the prayer and spirituality forum, but it concerns a rather old traditional prayer, so I figured I might have more luck posting it here]: I was wondering if you could help me identify an old Sacred Heart prayer. A gentleman in a nursing home said he had been praying a prayer to the Sacred Heart every day for some 50 years. As his memory fades, however, he can only remember fragments. He really wants to have the original prayer in writing so that he can pray it every morning. Here is what he was able to recall:
“O Divine Jesus - I come to you with an open-heart [or, I come to you in prayer] - ask and you shall receive - seek and you shall find - knock and it shall be open to you - cast upon me a look of pity … - Behold me prostrated at thy feet - to thee o blessed Heart of Jesus - In thse promises I come to the Sacred Heart… - O come in grattitude… - to whom shall I come o Sacred Heart?..”
Does any of this resemble an old Sacred Heart prayer that someone can identify. I am trying to do google searches in the meantime. I know that there are innumerable prayers and consecrations to the Sacred Heart out there, but this one would have to date back to the 1930s at least. Thank you and God bless for any help that you may be able to provide.
