The newly formed Sacred Heart of Jesus Devotion Ministry invites all parishioners to the
First Friday Adoration Mass on June 3 at 9:00am, in the church.
The Ministry leaders request that you come back at 2:00pm to the CRY ROOM at the church to consecrate ourselves to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and to learn about the Beads of the Sacred Heart chaplet.
All are welcome!
In the 17th century Our Lord Jesus Christ asked St. Margaret Mary Alacoque to give the world His 12 Promises and to encourage everyone to say The Devotion to His Sacred Heart on the First Friday of every month. Our Lord wants the world to know that His Sacred Heart burns with His Love for us.
The purpose of the ministry is to honor Our Lord each First Friday by saying His 12 Promises and praying the chaplet, which is known as the Beads of the Sacred Heart. We will invite parishioners to join us to learn about the 12 Promises and to pray the Beads of the Sacred Heart.
Lord Jesus Christ, I want to give myself to you completely. When I see your Sacred Heart, I reflect upon your love.
You came from the Father taking a human body with a human heart. You taught us to love God with all our hearts. You suffered and died to save us from sin and death.
As you hung on the cross, Your Heart was pierced by a lance. Out of it poured blood and water to signify the birth of Your Church.
You rose from the dead, Jesus, to live forever with your Father in Heaven. But your Heart is still full of love for us. You still feel pain when people reject or ignore your love; you want us all to live forever with God.
I now consecrate myself to your Sacred Heart, Jesus. You are the Son of God whom I love with all my heart; I offer you my body, my soul, my mind, and my heart. Receive me, make me holy, make my heart like your Heart, and guide me in the way of perfect love today and every day of my life. Amen.
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 all their afflictions.
4. I will be their secure refuge during life, and above all, in death.
5. I will bestow abundant blessings upon all their undertakings.
6. Sinners will find in My Heart the source and infinite ocean of mercy.
7. Lukewarm souls shall become fervent.
8. Fervent souls shall quickly mount to high perfection.
9. I will bless every place in which an image of My Heart is 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.
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 Fridays in nine consecutive months the grace of final perseverance; they shall not die in My disgrace, nor without receiving their sacraments. My divine Heart shall be their safe refuge in this last moment.
