Behold This Heart…

Sr. JosephMary f.t.i. — Thu, 26 Jun 2014 16:00:32 +0000

Ave Maria Meditations

“Behold the Heart which has so loved men that it has spared nothing, even to exhausting and consuming Itself, in order to testify Its love; and in return, I receive from the greater part only ingratitude, by their irreverence and sacrilege, and by the coldness and contempt they have for Me in this Sacrament of Love.

The Twelve Promises of the Sacred Heart to St. Margaret Mary:

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

2. I will give 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 and 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 the image of My Sacred Heart shall be exposed and honored.

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

11. Those who propagate this devotion shall have their name written in My Heart, and it shall never be effaced.

12. The all-powerful love of My Heart will grant to all those who shall receive 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.

SHJ Desires What Every Heart Desires: To Be Loved – Oct 16 – Homily – Fr Alan

apostolate — Tue, 16 Oct 2018 12:55:33 +0000

In the homily for the memorial of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, Virgin (Oct 16), Fr. Alan talks about the Sacred Heart of Jesus (SHJ), and the key message from the revelations to St. Margaret Mary: the Sacred Heart desires to be loved, just like every human heart. He promised great graces to those who practice devotion to the SHJ, among them: final perseverance (thus, salvation). History has shown that neglecting the Sacred Heart of Jesus has disastrous consequences for society.

Ave Maria!
