Sacred Heart of Jesus

The Sacred Heart of Jesus represents Jesus’ divine love for humanity. In 1675, Our Lord appeared in Paray le Monial, France to St. Margaret Mary from out of the monstrance with a flaming Heart of love, and said, “Behold this Heart that has so loved men that It has spared nothing even to exhausting and consuming Itself in order to show them Its love … I promise that My Heart will pour out abundantly the power of Its love upon those who pay It … honor.” The devotion to the Sacred Heart was officially recognized by the Church in 1856.

Jesus gave the following promises to Saint Margaret Mary for souls devoted to His most Sacred Heart:

  1. I will give them all the graces necessary in their state of life.
  2. I will establish peace in their homes.
  3. I will comfort them in their afflictions.
  4. I will be their secure refuge in life and above all in death.
  5. I will bestow 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 quickly mount to high perfection.
  9. I will bless every place where a picture of My heart shall be exposed and honored.
  10. I will give to priests the gift of touching the most hardened hearts.
  11. Those who shall promote this devotion shall have their names written in My heart, never to be blotted out.
  12. I promise you, in the excessive mercy of my heart that my all-powerful love will grant to all those who receive Holy Communion on the first Friday for 9 consecutive months the grace of final repentance; they shall not die in My disgrace nor without receiving the sacraments; My Divine Heart shall be their safe refuge in that last moment.
