Our Order of the Most Holy Redeemer has always worn an image if Jesus over their hearts. Before Vatican II, these images were hand-painted and attached to the scapular.
After Evening Prayer we pray:
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, behold us here today to proclaim your absolute dominion over our Community. We desire to love your life of love, so that among us may flourish those virtues for which you promised peace on earth.
Reign over our understanding by the integrity of our faith; reign over our hearts by our love for you. May this love be ever nourished be fervent prayer and the Sacraments, especially the Eucharist.
Be pleased, O Divine Heart, to preside over our meetings, to bless our undertakings, to banish all care, to be present in our joys and sorrows. If any of us should ever grieve your Sacred Heart, remind us of your goodness and mercy towards the repentant sinner.
And when death enters our family circle, help us to bow humbly before the mystery of life, remembering that the day will come when our entire Community, once more united in heaven, will sing with joy of your mercy and goodness forever. Amen
