The Twelve Promises of Jesus to Saint Margaret Mary for those devoted to His Sacred Heart:
I will give them all the graces necessary for their state of life.
I will establish peace in their families.
I will console them in all their troubles.
They shall find in My Heart an assured refuge during life and especially at the hour of their death.
I will pour abundant blessings on all their undertakings.
Sinners shall find in My Heart the source of an infinite ocean of mercy.
Tepid souls shall become fervent.
Fervent souls shall speedily rise to great perfection.
I will bless the homes where an image of My Heart shall be exposed and honored.
I will give to priests the power of touching the most hardened hearts.
Those who propagate this devotion shall have their names written in My Heart, never to be effaced.
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.
These promises are made to those who, in a state of Grace, attend Mass, Receive Communion, pray for the Pope and offer it all in reparation for sins against the Sacred Heart of Jesus on the first Friday of 9 consecutive months. If you haven't started yet, start today, Friday, March 7th. You will complete the 2nd Friday during Lent, on April 4th.
The next 2 will be during the Easter season, on May 2nd and June 6th.
You then would complete it during the Jason months. The Jason months?
July, August, September, October, November.
In fact, you will finish on November 7th, just a few weeks before Advent.
How about this as an idea to kick start your year?
