Novena to the Sacred Heart

I combined the text of the Sacred Heart Novena with the text of the traditional prayers so they are conveniently together on one page:

Our Father

Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come, thy Will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those how trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Hail Mary

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.

Glory Be

Glory be to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Sprit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be.

Hail, Holy Queen

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, our sweetness, our hope, and our life.
To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve: to thee do we send up our sorrows, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
Turn then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus, O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary!
