The Promises given to Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque

As we connue to examine the 12 promises Jesus gave to Saint Margaret Mary, this week we look at the ninth promise:

Promise 9: I will bless the homes in which the image of My Sacred Heart shall be exposed and honored.

Reflecon: The heart is a universal symbol of love. During this Advent season, we especially remember that Jesus became one of us, a human being with a body and a soul. He is true God and true man. Thus, the image of his human heart is a sacred image and reminds us of God’s unending love which comforts and helps us deepen our own loving devoon to God.

Adoration is every Friday from after the 8:00 Mass until 5:30 pm, and all day and night on the First Friday. This is your invitation to also spend sacred time before the Blessed Sacrament and hear how God is speaking to you!
