Prayer to the Sacred Heart

We adore You, O Sacred Heart

Which ached in the garden for Your Bride.

Willing Your Sacred Feet

To take you into the marriage chamber.

We adore You, O Sacred Heart

Moved to willingly walk to Your Passion,

Those Sacred Feet

That did not shake off Her dust.

We adore You, O Sacred Heart

Receiving the blows from an unwitting bride,

Those Sacred Feet

Standing firm in Eternal Love.

We adore You, O Sacred Heart

And Your feet which did not run,

When the thorns pierced,

Your Heart steadfast in passionate Love.

We adore You, O Sacred Heart

Which moved those Sacred Feet on the path

Each sacred step

Moving forward for love of the Bride.

We adore You, O Sacred Heart

Risen upon the Tree,

Your Sacred Feet willingly bound

By the marital bed of our making.

We adore You, O Sacred Heart

Gushing forth a font of Mercy

Consummating Your marriage to us

Your bride, washed clean.

O most Sacred Heart,

We adore Your precious Feet

Which never faltered from the course,

Steadfast in Love for Your Bride.
