PRAYER FOR VICTORY OF THE UNITED HEARTS*
Dear Jesus, I know that the Victory of the United Hearts cannot come into the heart of the world unless it first comes into my own heart. Therefore, I ask that You give me the courage to look with the eyes of truth into my own heart to discover any area of inordinate self-love that I have not conquered. Take sovereignty over my heart. Jesus, Triumph and Reign! Amen.
“This prayer is an important step in becoming an instrument towards Jesus’ Victory instead of an obstacle.” (St. Martin de Porres November 28, 2007)
PRAY MORNING AND NIGHT FOR TRUTHFUL CONVICTION OF HEART
“Dear Jesus, through the power of Your Holy Spirit,
show me my imperfections and help me to improve.”
(July 20, 2014)
GRANT ME THE GIFT OF SELF-KNOWLEDGE **
Heavenly Father, I ask You to grant me the precious gift of self-knowledge, for the grace of truthful insight into my own heart.
Aid me in making a daily examination of conscience.
Assist me in overcoming any disordered self-love, an obstacle to perfection, still remaining in any area of my being and to love Your Holy Divine Will for me more than my own will.
I ask for the grace of self-knowledge to see where I am failing in these virtues of humility, love and simplicity and grant me the courage to conquer disordered self-love which motivate my thoughts, words and deeds.
In Jesus Name I pray,
through the power and inspiration of the Spirit of Truth. Amen.
“End each day with a thorough examination of conscience. Ask for the grace of truthful insight into your own heart. It will be granted.” (Jesus, Born Incarnate, June 11, 2001)
“Self-knowledge is a precious grace which will be given if asked for.” (Our Lady of Grace, September 7, 1998)
“The obstacle to perfection is always a disordered self-love. This is to say, the soul loves his own will in some area of his being more than God’s Will for him.” (St Therese, October 1, 2001)
“To advance in these virtues of humility, love and simplicity, the soul must ask the Lord for the grace of self-knowledge to see where he is failing in these virtues. Without the courage to do this, he will never conquer his disordered self-love which will motivate his thoughts, words and deeds.”
(St. Thomas Aquinas, March 23, 2002)

GRACE OF SELF-KNOWLEDGE
“Dear Jesus, grant me the grace of self-knowledge so that by looking into my own heart with humility, I will discover my weaknesses in Holy Love. Then give me the grace of courage to try to overcome my faults so that I will not have to be purified of them in Purgatory. Amen.” (October 27, 2010)
WASH MY POOR HEART
“Dear Jesus, I petition the Heart of Your Eternal Father to wash my poor heart in the cleansing water of His Divine Will. Show me anything in my heart which opposes Holy Truth, and help me to cast it out forever.”

as to any fault within my own heart
which presents itself as an obstacle
to living in the Truth of Holy Love.
(Therefore, pray to be enlightened as to any fault within your own heart, which presents itself as an obstacle to living in the truth of Holy Love. Such a prayer pleases Me. ”Jesus, January 5, 2007)

The following is a derived prayer (not a provided prayer) culled from all the messages about self-knowledge and examination of conscience. See note below to understand why the image of the United Hearts is displayed with this compiled prayer.*
PRAYER FOR ASSISTANCE
Jesus, born Incarnate,
I ask for the precious gift of Self-knowledge,
a vital grace to my conversion
knowing that obstacles on the path to holiness
are always rooted in self-love.
Help me to pray with a sincere heart.
Help me to be in touch with the motives in my own heart
in thought, word and deed in every present moment.
(Vestibule of the United Hearts – Invitation to Conversion, Opening of Heart, Vestibule of St Joseph’s Heart)
Help me to answer Your call back into the Vestibule of Grace
to make a self-examination of conscience
so I will be able to see what is holding me back
from a deeper journey through the Chambers and
can pass once again through the Doorway of Your Mercy.
I ask for humility to lead me closer to You, My Jesus,
to have a true conviction of heart
by self-examination of conscience
as a way so to lead me to deeper holiness.
To discover my faults so I can overcome them.
Help me to end each day with a thorough examination of conscience.
Help me to progress in this battle
which is often waged in silence and within the heart.
Help me to recognize that any small error in Holy Love
prevents the whole attitude of Holy Love from taking root.
I ask for the grace of truthful insight into my own heart.
Help me to strip away all pretense and reveal the truth.
Give me true self-knowledge.
I beg for the gift of humility.
(1st Chamber – Salvation, Holy Love, Immaculate Heart)
Help me on the first step
to enter the Flame of Holy Love in Your Mother’s Heart so that
much can be revealed to my soul–
and I can see the flaws I must overcome.
Help me, My Beloved, to be open to the Spirit of Truth.
I ask the Holy Spirit to show me
the faults and failings of my heart in relation to Holy Love.
I glorify you that self-knowledge is Your Merciful Love in action.
(2nd Chamber – Holiness, Divine Love, Sacred Heart)
Help me to open my heart
to improving my faults and failings in Holy Love,
so You can bring me deeper into Your Own Sacred Heart.
Sweet Jesus, I pray for the humility to do so.
Help me to always pray to discover the Truth
about my own spiritual journey –
what weakens me and leads me into sin.
This is vital to a deeper journey
into the Chambers of the United Hearts.
I ask St John Vianney to assist me
in this self-examination on a daily basis.
Help me to tame my intellect,
just as a wild beast is tamed.
Help me bring it
under the rule of a humble, loving and simplistic heart.
It is only in this way the soul which God created
can be united to its Creator.
(3rd Chamber – Perfection, Virtues)
Jesus, God, I ask for assistance for my soul
to be willing to look into my own heart
and in overcoming my faults
in order to mount quickly to perfection.
Help my soul
to first acknowledge my shortcomings
in the virtues to increase in virtue,
and then assist me to overcome these faults.
Amen.
Reminder: “You are no more than you are in My eyes” (Jesus, March 3, 2003)
Note 1: Just a personal note: With these phrases being gleaned from messages extending over 20 years, I was amazed at the subtlety and progressiveness of what was being expressed. They actually reminded me of how the psalms are written where a core idea is repeated and then used as a foundation for a more elaborate thought in a subsequent line. What a sublimely awesome God we have that would put this much effort and thought into conveying some nuances to us. May God be praised and exalted above all forever.
Note 2: *Update Feast of the Protectress of Faith, 2021: I just recognized the progression of this derived prayer which is extracted from messages regarding self–knowledge and examination of conscience conveyed over the course of a two decades or so. I was faithful to the sequence as I culled the messages. It travels from the Vestibule through the 1st, 2nd and 3rd chamber of the United Hearts. Who but heaven over the course of 20 years could produce messages that when studied shows a natural progression?
