Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Daily prayer for June 17

In the apparitions of the Sacred Heart of Jesus to St. Margaret Mary, she described her experience of the Lord in this way: "My divine Heart is so impassioned for the human race and for you, in particular, that it cannot retain any longer the repressed flames of its ardent charity. They must burst through you and reveal my heart to the world, to enrich humanity with my treasures. After this revelation, Jesus united his heart with that of Saint Margaret Alacoque in a fusion of mystical love. For the daily prayer for June 17, let us understand why, in order to be united to the Sacred Heart, we must detach ourselves from our rivalries, from those jealousies that invade the heart and do not let it mature spiritually

Daily Devotion for June, 17.

In his Epistle, St. John reveals to us this loving God and tells us that God is love (Cf. 1 John 4), a Father who waits for each one of us, who gives himself for others, who desires our eternal salvation so that we may enjoy with Him the delights of His Kingdom. His entire project of salvation for humanity is centered on a mission of mercy. The Word made flesh became incarnate in the Virgin Mary to make known to us this love of the Father, this infinite mercy that opened up completely in the wound in her side to the bleeding of her Sacred Heart.

If love means wanting the good of the other, completely free from self-interest, we see the perfection of such charity in the burning heart of Christ. And that is why we are going to pray with the daily prayer for June 17. If you want the good of the other we must end jealousy and rivalries, grow more in the love of God.

Daily Prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

In this daily prayer for June 17, we are going to make a small interior review of a feeling that we all have, some more than others, and that we must avoid at all costs: jealousy, rivalry. May God give us a total deliverance from this enemy of the heart.

Beloved Father, with much shame I come before You at this moment, to confess that I have had some feelings unworthy of a child of God. I have felt jealousy that has led me to rivalry with the other.

You know everything that goes on in my heart. Help me to soften it, to let go, to let go, and to look at the progress of others with great joy as if it were for myself.

There are times, Lord, when I have asked you for things I need in my life, and I have not really asked for them as I should have. Today, I´m sure that what I´m asking you for is for my personal well-being and that of all of my people

Free me from those jealousies that lead me down paths of winning enemies and rivalries that only lead to my own social destruction. Help me work on my heart. Remove the wrong desires that dwell in him and replace them with those that align with your word.

I fight against this jealousy every day, Lord, because I know it doesn´t do me any good. I feel bad when I see everyone around me advancing and prospering in their lives, while I continue to struggle with great effort and be in the same place.

I do not want to feel this, Lord, for your word assures me that jealous people are cut off from your graces. Root out that unhealthy jealousy in my heart so that it can make way for that pure love you have placed within me.

Help me to behave like a child of God, teach me to appreciate others, never to see them as rivals, but as companions on the journey to eternity.

Lord Jesus, free me from all the worries that burden my mind, for they are the reason for many of my jealousies. Give me the grace to control those bad inclinations when they´re just appearing. Teach me to be happy for my friends and family when they succeed. Purify my mind, help me walk that path that pleases you.

My God, my Lord, give me a heart that rejoices when others are blessed and mourns when others suffer. Wash, cleanse, purify my mind, heart and spirit and make me a new creature in your love. Forgive me for not appreciating all the blessings I have at present. Help me be happy with what you have given me today knowing that other blessings will come that you have prepared for me on this path.

I trust that today I will be free of all rivalry and jealousy will be removed from my heart. I await the blessing of your Holy Spirit so that I may open the eyes of my soul and be happy with all that you have given me. I love you Lord, I trust in your healing. Amen
