From EWTN.
The Catechism teaches: “The prayer of the Church venerates and honors the Heart of Jesus just as it invokes his most holy name. It adores the incarnate Word and his Heart which, out of love for men, he allowed to be pierced by our sins” (Catechism 2669).
This novena prayer, also called the Efficacious Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, was written by St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, and St. Pio of Pietrelcina (Padre Pio) prayed it every day for all those who asked for his prayers (EWTN). We mustn’t view this prayer (or any other prayer) as a “candy dispenser,” but pray with sincerity and with trust that God will answer our prayers according to His will.
This novena can be prayed at any time, but an especially good time to pray this novena is on each of the nine days preceding the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart, which is the Friday after Corpus Christi.
