Prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Most Sacred Heart of Mary for the conversion of sinners.
Jesus Christ, who suffered so much for the salvation of all men, hastens to answer the prayers we offer for the conversion of lost souls.
Sacred Heart of Jesus! who burns with such ardent love for men, and who is so little loved by them, how can I, through my fervor, console You for the ingratitude of all these sinful Christians! Will Your Heart, always tender and compassionate, always be broken with pain at the sight of the evils Your children bring upon themselves by their disorders and crimes? I know, O my Saviour! You love to be implored for sinners, because it was for them that You abased Yourself and resigned Yourself to all the humiliations of Your life and to the torments of Your Passion, because You want them to be converted and to live. However guilty I may be, I confidently approach the throne of Your mercies, firmly hoping that You will not reject my prayers for these unfortunate souls.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, have pity on sinners, touch their hardened hearts, open their eyes blinded by their passions, make them see the abyss into which they are plunging. Grace, grace, O my God! suspend Your wrath. Mercy, Lord, mercy! Are not sinners Your children? O my God, do not abandon them, and since the blood of Your Son has been shed for them, let it not be in vain. Receive, in expiation for their crimes, the sufferings of Jesus, the prayers, the good works, the communions of so many fervent Christians, to which I unite myself with all the power of my soul. I want to live only to love You, happy if I could die of love for You, and compensate You for the coldness of so many Christians, who do not love You, because they do not know You.
O Immaculate Heart of Mary! Heart of this august Virgin whom the Church rightly calls the Refuge and Advocate of sinners, join Your supplications to my feeble prayers to do holy violence to the Heart of Jesus. O Mary! I place my requests in Your Heart, deign to present them to the sovereign Judge, to Him whom You bore in Your virginal womb, to Him whose sublime virtues You imitated so well, to Him whom You loved so much, and I am at peace in the sweet hope that they will be granted. Amen.
