On the feast day of Saint Madeleine Sophie Barat, the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Jesus invite you to join them in an online prayer novena using Hozana. This nine-day journey will help you deepen your relationship with Christ, inspired by this passionate woman, educator, and founder, whose spiritual legacy continues to inspire us today.

Why do we pray this novena?

Saint Madeleine Sophie Barat, who founded the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in 1800, dedicated her life to education and the transformation of hearts. Her message invites us to live a bold faith, rooted in the love of Christ, turned towards others and attentive to inner unity.

By following this novena, you are invited to draw from the source of an enlightened, faithful, and generous faith, in the service of the integral education of the person and inner growth.

A format accessible to all

The texts are available in written form, to be read and meditated upon at your own pace. Alone, with your family, or in your community, this journey is for all those who wish to experience a time of prayer and deep renewal.
