The prayers are provided below, as well as a link to order this beautiful chaplet from the Carmelite Monastery of the Sacred Hearts. We hope you’ll enjoy it. Heroic Hearts will return the week of June 20, 2022 with the first episode of Season 2!

I promise to do all in my power to procure the triumph of the rights of God and Your Church.

Amen.
