St. Margaret Mary, Part 6

1/14/2014

0 Comments

 
The Sacred Heart is a powerful devotion and has led many people to rediscover their faith. It is my hope that many people in our parish will be enlivened by this devotion and it will be a source of blessing to all of us. When Jesus spoke with St. Margaret Mary about this devotion, he made several promises to those who follow this devotion and dedicate their lives to him. Here are the twelve promises of Our Lord Jesus to St. Margaret Mary for those devoted to His Sacred Heart:

1. I will give them all the graces necessary for their state of life.

2. I will establish peace in their families.

3. I will console them in all their troubles.

4. They shall find in My Heart an assured refuge during life and especially at the hour of death.

5. I will pour abundant blessings on all their undertakings.

6. Sinners shall find in My Heart the source of an infinite ocean of mercy.

7. Tepid souls shall become fervent.

8. Fervent souls shall speedily rise to great perfection.

9. I will bless the homes in which an image of My Heart shall be exposed and honored.

10. I will give to priests the power of touching the most hardened hearts.

11. Those who propagate this devotion shall have their names written in My Heart, never to be effaced.

12. The all-powerful love of My Heart will grant to all those who shall receive Holy Communion on the First Friday of nine consecutive months the grace of final repentance; they shall not die under My displeasure, nor without receiving their Sacraments; My heart shall be their assured refuge at that last hour.

Powerful stuff, I am sure you would agree… Please continue to pray for the successful completion of this endeavor!

-Fr. Paul
