Prayer to the Sacred Heart by St John Eudes

St John Eudes, CIM was a product of the French School of Spirituality and the great apostle of the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts.

From Aleteia

By Philip Kosloski

St John Eudes composed this prayer to promote devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

St. John Eudes was among the many promoters of devotion to the Sacred Heart over the centuries. He was a 17th-century priest in France who was deeply impacted by St. Francis de Sales.

Here is one of St. John Eudes’ prayers that he used to help promote devotion to the Sacred Heart.

O Heart all loveable and all loving of my Savior, be the Heart of my heart, the Soul of my soul, the Spirit of my spirit, the Life of my life and the sole principle of all my thoughts, words and actions, of all the faculties of my soul and of all my senses, both interior and exterior. Amen.

Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
