Litany of the Most Sacred Heart

A very easy and beautiful way to get closer to Jesus is by honoring his Most Sacred Heart. Mercy flows from His Most Sacred Heart. This simple prayer is a great way to celebrate the jubilee year of Mercy. Pray this litany every day. The Sacred Heart of Jesus is waiting for you to share your sufferings, pains, tiredness, worries, and joys and thankfulness. A partial indulgence is attached to this litany.
