IF YOU ARE IN NEED OF SPECIAL HELP FROM JESUS CHRIST

Adam and Eve listened to the voice of the devil instead of the Voice of God. Thus the relationship between God and our ancestors was broken - and God was heartbroken.
Our Saviour came to redeem us at terrible personal cost.
Let us always steadfastly refuse to listen to the promptings of the evil one.

Jesus appeared to St Margaret Mary Alacoque. He entrusted her with knowledge of how great the love of the Heart of God is for humanity. Jesus made 12 promises which His Sacred Heart will honour if we honour Him in our homes.

A wonderful devotion is to place a picture of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in a central place in our homes.

The Great Promises of 
the Sacred Heart of Jesus

JESUS MADE THE FOLLOWING PROMISES 
FOR THOSE WHO HONOUR HIM

1. I will give them all the graces that are necessary for their state in life

2. I will help all families that are in difficulty and I will bring peace to families that are divided

3. I will console them in their afflictions

4. I will be their safe refuge in life and especially at the hour of their death

5. I will shower their work with abundant blessings

6. Sinners will find a source and an ocean of Mercy in My Heart

7. I will bring religious communities and individual faithful people back to their initial fervour

8. Fervent souls will reach great perfection in a short time

9. I will bless the places where the image of My Sacred Heart is exposed and honoured

10. To all of those who work for the salvation of souls I will give the gift of moving even the most hardened hearts

11. The name of those who propagate devotion to My Sacred Heart will be written in My Heart and it will never be cancelled out [Jesus' great Love for us is often depicted as the Saviour with a heart with flames (on fire with love for us) - and is known as the "Sacred Heart of Jesus].

Lastly, the Great Promise:

"I promise you, in the excess of Mercy of My Heart, that My Omnipotent Love will give all those who receive Holy Communion on the First Friday of the Month for nine consecutive months, the grace of final repentance.

They will not die in a state of disgrace, or without receiving the Sacraments, and My Heart will be their safe refuge during that last hour."

How to do the Nine First Fridays;

1. Make confession to God of your sins, and repent them

2. Attend the Holy Eucharist and receive Communion on the First Friday of each month. Do this for nine months.

What does Confession require?

First, when we confess to God, we need to reflect. What have we done that is sinful, that requires change?

We then turn to God and confess where we have gone wrong.

We need to realize that we must change our way of life.

We make a firm decision to change our life with God's help.

Now choose to do only that which is right.

If it is in any way possible, let us resolve to make amends in the situation we caused.

Sometimes, unfortunately, this is not possible.

In that case, let us put the situation into the gentle Hands of Jesus and ask Him to intercede in whatever way possible. Then be at peace.

We are all on a journey; we are all prone to sinfulness.

We all make mistakes on our way.

Yet, let us do everything we can to live as faithful followers of Jesus Christ.

This means following the Commandments, and following the precepts of life Jesus Christ taught in the Gospels.

Why pray the Nine First Fridays devotion?

There is good sense behind the practice. A regular and devoted prayer life stands us in good stead, and strengthens our morality, sense of values and character.

This helps ut to be strong when faced with situations that may tempt us to do wrong, instead of that which is right.

CHAPEL OF REPENTANCE
