Today’s Scripture

Jesus identified himself with those in need, and warned, ‘What you do to the least of these, who are members of my family, you do to me.’
“Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and gave you something to drink? And when was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you, or naked and gave you clothing? And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you?” And the king will answer them, “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.”

( Matthew 25:40 NRSV)

Reflection for the SeventhDay

Jesus cares particularly for the many who suffer loss today, whether it be the loss of employment, of their home, of the means to provide for their families; the loss of their loved ones, their health, their peace of mind, or even their hope. He wants to touch them and embrace them, and make them whole. We are only saved with love.

Today’s Prayer

Lord, give me a heart of compassion and teach me to treat all who suffer losses with respect and understanding.

Sacred Heart of Jesus I place all my trust in you.

Daily Invocation

Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in you.

Novena Prayer

You can use the novena prayer below or open your personalised novena prayer.

Lord work on my heart
until it becomes like your Sacred Heart.
Give me hope.
Then I can love you and all my sisters and brothers
with the respect, compassion, and forgiveness
that you have for everyone.
I ask this in your name.
Amen.

I ask you to grant
my special request during this novena
(here mention your intention).

If what I ask is not for my own good

and the good of others,
grant me what will most help
to build up your kingdom of justice, love and peace.
I make this prayer with confidence in your love.
Amen
