Opening Prayer at Meetings

As members of the Pioneer Association we are gathered here together in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and we believe that he is present among us. Let us now join together in dedicating ourselves to his Sacred Heart. Lord, Jesus Christ, You came to show us your Father's love, and to do his will. You gave Him Glory by Your Life, and by yielding up that Life upon the Cross. With You we offer our lives to Praise and Thank Him from our hearts. All for thee, O Sacred Heart of Jesus. All for Thee. Amen

 

Heroic Offering

For Thy greater glory and consolation, O Sacred Heart of Jesus, for thy sake to give good example, to practise self denial, to make reparation to thee for the sins of intemperance, and for the conversion of excessive drinkers, I will abstain for life from all intoxicating drinks.

 

 

Concluding Prayer for Meetings

Almighty God and Father we Glory in the Sacred Heart of Jesus, your Beloved Son, as we call to mind the great things his love has done for us. Fill us with the grace that flows in abundance from the Heart of Jesus, the source of Heaven's gifts. Bless our homes and our families and all our undertakings. We make this prayer through Christ Our Lord, Amen. Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my Trust in you.
