What are some of the prayers or devotions you know to the most Sacred Heart of Jesus?

Our family prays the following every morning:

Sacred Heart of Jesus
Bless all that I do
My work,
My study, and
My play.

Sacred Heart of Jesus
Bring peace to my heart,
My family,
My nation, and
This world

Then we end by repeating three times - All for you Sacred Heart of Jesus. My children have taken to bowing down and whispering the first, “All for you Sacred Heart of Jesus”. They raise themselves to a semikneeling position and say the next a little louder. Then they raise themselves to a full kneel and shout out the last repetition.
 
As an Eastern Catholic, we normally are not encouraged to pray towards the Sacred Heart or the Immaculate Heart. I am somewhat mixed on the issue. As I understand it, the appairations of Fatima are real, but the whole messages of devotion are not widley encouraged in the East Catholic realm. It is viewed to be ‘latin’ or ‘Western’ or somethting ‘the Roman Church does.’

Maybe that is why I have a tough time becoming close to Our Blessed Mother.

I listened to the Excellent Program tonight on CA Live, and wonder how I can adapt the Five Promises for the FIve First Saturdays as promised by the Blessed Mother.

I have a lot on my plate about this topic…any suggestions, that’ll be great!
In fact, I’m signing off for tonight to go pray for guidance and discernment.
Thanks!
 
God Bless you, Edwin! Personally, I love the Sacred Heart. To me, it symbolizes the extent to which Jesus loves each of us individually. The Sacred Heart is often shown crowned with thorns and peirced, just as Jesus was on the cross. I think if we really encounter God, we, at some point, must realize how much we sin. The Sacred Heart is telling us, “Do not be afraid.”

“You are precious in my eyes. You are honored and I love you.” ~Isaiah 43:4
 
We love the Sacred Heart of Jesus. For one it shows a flame to remind us of Jesus’ burning love for us. His heart is surrounded by the crown of thorns to show the extent to which Jesus loved us and was willing to suffer for use. As with all other pictures, statues, icons, etc. I remind our children that they are there to help us remember and to help us to live a holier life.

Of the many promises Our Lord Jesus Christ did reveal to Saint Margaret Mary in favor of souls devoted to His Sacred Heart the principal ones are as follows:
  1. I will give them all the graces necessary for their state of life.
  2. I will give peace in their families.
  3. I will console them in all their troubles.
  4. I will be their refuge in life and especially in death.
  5. I will abundantly bless all their undertakings.
  6. Sinners shall find in my Heart the source and infinite ocean of mercy.
  7. Tepid souls shall become fervent.
  8. Fervent souls shall rise speedily to great perfection.
  9. I will bless those places wherein the image of
    My Sacred Heart shall be exposed and venerated.
  10. I will give to priests the power to touch the most hardened hearts.
  11. Persons who propagate this devotion shall
    have their names eternally written in my Heart.
  12. In the excess of the mercy of my Heart, I promise you that my all powerful love will grant to all those who will receive Communion on the First Fridays, for nine consecutive months, the grace of final repentance: they will not die in my displeasure, nor without receiving the sacraments; and my Heart will be their secure refuge in that last hour.
 
Consecration of the Family to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Oh most Sacred Heart of Jesus,
we come to you as a family
and consecrate ourselves to Your Sacred Heart.
Protect us through Your Most Precious Blood
and keep us pure and holy.

Oh Dear Jesus,
we are so far away from Your most pure and Sacred Heart.
As a family we need Your help.
Heal all the quarrels that exist
in our family due to our unforgiveness
and lack of love for You.
Heal our unbelieving and unconverted hearts
and lead us to Your Sacred Heart with love.
Unite us as a family
and remove all stain of sinfulness from our souls.
Help us to be a prayerful and loving family,
so that through our example
we may lead other souls to Your Most Sacred Heart.

We give You our hearts Dearest Jesus,
and consecrate our family through the fourth generation.
Through the prayers of our Dearest Mother Mary,
may we live this consecration every day of our lives.

Amen.

We had a Eucharist Feast ( Mass ) last night in honor of the Sacred Heart followed by a fish fry feast.
 
We did have our Enthronement of the Sacred Heart on the Feast Day. It was a wonderful experience. We had more people come than we expected and the priest who officiated at our wedding almost 20 years ago, came and led our entrhonement and consecration of our family.
