** [This novena prayer is attributed to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque who widely promoted devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. It is said that St. Padre Pio recited this novena daily for all those who requested his prayers.
This novena (repeating the same prayer for nine consecutive days for a particular intention or devotion) can be prayed at any time, though it is a tradition to begin Wednesday after Trinity Sunday and leading up to the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. On the feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus itself it is a tradition to pray the Act of Reparation to the Sacred Heart.]
