Novena

Sacred Heart Of Jesus In the past I have asked for many favours, this time I ask for this special favour (mention it), take it Dear Heart of Jesus, and place it within your own broken heart, where your Father sees it, then in His merciful eyes, it will become your favour not mine. Say this prayer for three days and favour will be granted. VM
