Prayer to the Sacred Head of Jesus (Seat of Divine Wisdom)

Description

The "Prayer to the Sacred Head" honors Jesus as the Seat of Divine Wisdom and seek His guidance in every part of our lives. I find that focusing on His Sacred Head helps quiet the noise of the world and brings a true peace of mind when things feel overwhelming. This short devotion asks Christ to govern our thoughts and memories, leading us with His light through every difficult decision. The prayer reverently honors three faculties of Christ's Sacred Mind: His Divine Will, which was always in meek and humble subjection to the Heavenly Father; His Understanding, which knows all things and guides us with His Light; and His Memory, in which past, present, and future are all reflected at once, and which is ever mindful of us. *RELATED PRAYER:* 🙏 Litany to the Sacred Head — https://youtu.be/-vjiWLacd3g *PRAYER TO THE SACRED HEAD (prayer text)* O Wisdom of the Sacred Head, guide me in all my ways. O Love of the Sacred Heart, consume me with Thy fire. O Seat of Divine Wisdom, and guiding Power, which governs all the motions and love of the Sacred Heart, may all minds know Thee, all hearts love Thee, and all tongues praise Thee, now and forever more. In honor of Thy WILL, which was always in meek subjection to Thy Heavenly Father’s, may it control me in all things, as Thou didst govern all the affections and motions of the Sacred Heart of the God made Man. Glory be to the Father... In honor of Thy UNDERSTANDING, which knows all things, may it ever guide me with Thy Light. Glory be to the Father... In honor of Thy MEMORY, in which past, present and future are at once reflected, which is ever mindful of me, and always seems studying some new means of giving fresh favors, may it force me to love Thee more and more. Glory be to the Father... Dearest Jesus, teach me to be generous, teach me to serve Thee as Thou deservest, to give and not to count the cost, to fight and not to heed the wounds, to toil and not to seek for rest, to labor and not to ask for any reward, except to know that I do Thy Will, O my God. Amen.
