June is a month of special devotion to the Heart of Jesus, as is every Friday of the year...
Lord...
You know all my joys and sorrows,
make them channels of your grace:
Heart of Jesus, hear my prayer...
Mend the hearts of those I've hurt,
heal any harm that I have done:
Heart of Jesus, hear my prayer...
In your mercy sweep my soul
of all my failings, faults and sins:
Heart of Jesus, hear my prayer...
Lift my spirits from the depths
up to the joy that's born of peace:
Heart of Jesus, hear my prayer...
Clear my mind of idle thoughts,
of all my foolishness and folly:
Heart of Jesus, hear my prayer...
Grant me grace to do for others
what I'd have them do for me:
Heart of Jesus, hear my prayer...
Be my hope, Lord, when I'm lost
and be my strength when I am weak:
Heart of Jesus, hear my prayer...
Make me quick to offer mercy
and to pardon and forgive:
Heart of Jesus, hear my prayer...
When I'm tempted to be selfish,
open wide my heart to give:
Heart of Jesus, hear my prayer...
When I envy others' gifts, Lord,
make me grateful for my blessings:
Heart of Jesus, hear my prayer...
When I'm anxious and I'm worried
heal and calm my fearful heart:
Heart of Jesus, hear my prayer...
Open my heart to your coming
just as your heart welcomes me:
Heart of Jesus, hear my prayer...
Amen.
Spirit, Open My Heart
Lyrics by Ruth Duck, arranged by Alfred Fedak

Spirit open my heart
To the joy and pain of living
As you love may I love
In receiving and in giving
Spirit, open my heart
God, replace my stony heart
with a heart that's kind and tender.
All my coldness and fear
to your grace I now surrender.
Write your love upon my heart
as my law, my goal, my story.
In each thought, word, and deed,
may my living bring you glory.
Interlude
May I weep with those who weep,
share the joy of sister, brother.
In the welcome of Christ,
may we welcome one another.
