| Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus |
|
 |
| Sacred Heart of Jesus is full of LOVE. He loves us so much that He is willing to sacrifice for us and died on the cross for the sake of loving us. In returned of Jesus loves towards us, let honour His Sacred Heart by doing the Nine First Friday Devotion. The Nine "First Friday" must be made in honour of His Sacred Heart on nine consecutive months and communion must be received. St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, Apostle of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, received the uniqie favour of being visited by our Lord Himself, who asked her to spread devotion to His Most Sacred Heart. This she most humbly did, once she had received the permission and approbation of her superiors, especially her Spiritual Director and Confessor, St. Claude La Columbiere. |
| 12 Promises by Our Lord to all those who honour His Sacred Heart |
| I will give them all the graces necessary for their state of life. I will establish peace in thier houses. I will comfort them in all their afflictions. I will be their strength during life and above all during death. I will bestow a large blessing upon all their undertakings. Sinners shall find in My Heart the source and the infinite ocean of mercy. Tepid souls shall grow fervent. Fervent souls shall quickly mount to high pefection. I will bless every place where a picture of My Heart shall be set up and honored. I will give to priests the gift of touching the most hardened hearts. Those who shall promote this devotion shall have their names written in My Heart, never to be blotted out. I Promise you in the excessive mercy of My Heart that My all powerful love will grant all to those who communicate on the First Friday in nine consecutive months the grace of final penitence; they shall no die in My disgrace nor without receiving their sacraments; My Divine Heart shall be their safe refuge in this last moment. |
