Traditional English
Printed in 1866, before Margaret Mary Alacoque was canonized in 1920, so the text calls her "the venerable Margaret Mary".
Pray this each day for nine days. The source has the novena begin so as to end on the eve of the first Friday of the month, and asks for a particular intention as well as the general ones: reparation, the spread of devotion to the Sacred Heart, the Pope and the Church, growth in faith, hope and charity, and a happy death. If you cannot receive Communion, the source suggests a spiritual communion.

Immaculate Virgin, pray for us to the heart of Jesus.
Adorable Trinity, we thank thee for all the graces with which thou hast loaded thy servant, the venerable Margaret Mary, and beg through her intercession for the favours we hope to obtain through this Novena.
Prayer of St. Margaret Mary
Eternal Father, suffer me to offer thee the heart of Jesus Christ, thy beloved Son, as he himself offered it in sacrifice to thee.
Receive this offering for me, as well as all the desires, sentiments, affections, movements, and acts of this sacred heart.
They are all mine since he offered himself for me, and henceforth I wish to have no other desires but his.
Receive them in satisfaction for my sins, and in thanksgiving for all thy benefits.
Grant me through his merits all the graces necessary for my salvation, especially that of final perseverance.
Receive them as so many acts of love, adoration, and praise, which I offer to thy divine Majesty, since it is through the heart of Jesus that thou art worthily honoured and glorified.
Amen.
