DID YOU KNOW? First Friday Devotion
At the end of the 17th century, Our Lord appeared to St. Margaret Mary Alocoque and asked her to spread devotion to His Most Sacred Heart. He made 12 promises that those who practiced the Nine First Fridays and have a deep devotion to His Sacred Heart would be blessed with. First Friday requirements: attend Holy Mass, receive
Communion, go to Confession within eight days before or after. You should have the intention of making reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus for all the sinfulness and ingratitude of men. Jesus made 12 promises that include many graces, blessings, comfort, and mercy. Jesus said that those who promote this devotion shall have their names written in My Heart, never to be blotted out. His 12th promise is this: I promise you in the excessive mercy of My Heart that My all-powerful love will grant all those who communicate on the
First Friday on nine consecutive months the grace of final penitence; they shall not die in My disgrace nor without receiving their sacraments; My Divine Heart shall be their safe refuge in this last moment.
