Life of prayer at the School of the Heart of Jesus
The Heart of Jesus is the perfect place for prayer because it is where God's thirst and our thirst meet in the human-divine Heart of Christ. Thus, it draws us into adoration.
Prayers and texts
01 The Lord's Prayer
The Our Father prayer springs from the deepest part of His Heart and shapes our desires in His image.
02 Praise
Thanksgiving and praise that unite us with the filial and eucharistic Heart of the Son.
03 La lectio divina
The practice of Lectio Divina is another modality, as all Scripture is a gift from the Heart of Jesus and makes Him known to us.
04 Eucharistic Adoration
Let us remember that the spirituality of the Sacred Heart is essentially Eucharistic, as was highlighted by the apparitions of Paray-le-Monial.
05 The veneration of images of the Heart of Jesus
● This veneration allows for a symbolic experience of this Heart, again in line with the tradition of Paray le Monial.
06 The Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius
The Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius can be re-read in light of the experience of Saint Claude de la Colombière.
07 Prayer & Recitation of the Rosary
The recitation of the Rosary is a way of uniting oneself with the Heart of Jesus, and through Him with the Father and with our brothers and sisters, through the Heart of Mary.
