First Friday Devotion To The Sacred Heart
Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque, pray for us!The First Friday Devotion was given to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque by the Jesus who gave her the Twelve Promises of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. June is the Month of the Sacred Heart.
The Twelve Promises Of The First Friday DevotionSt. Margaret Mary Alacoque was the Sacred Heart of Jesus' chosen instrument to spread devotion to His Sacred Heart. Through apparitions He instructed her in a devotion that was to become known as the Nine First Friday devotion and the Holy Hour of Reparation to the Sacred Heart. He also asked that the feast of the Sacred Heart be established. Eventually she received the support of Blessed Claude La Colombiere, the community's confessor for a time, who declared that the visions were genuine.
Jesus promised that those who consecrate themselves and make reparation to His Sacred Heart: "I will give them all the graces necessary in their state of life.
I will establish peace in their homes.
I will comfort them in their afflictions.
I will be their secure refuge during life, and above all in death.
I will bestow abundant blessing upon all their undertakings.
Sinners shall find in My Heart the source and infinite ocean of mercy.
Tepid souls shall grow fervent.
Fervent souls shall quickly mount to high perfection.
I will bless every place where a picture of My Heart shall be set up and honored.
I will give to priests the gift of touching the most hardened hearts.
Those who shall promote this devotion shall have their names written in My Heart, never to be blotted out.
I promise the in the excessive mercy of My Heart that My all-powerful love will grant to all those who communicate on the First Friday in nine consecutive months, the grace of final penitence; they shall not die in My disgrace, nor without receiving the sacraments; My divine Heart shall be their safe refuge in this last moment." – Soul Assurance Prayer Plan, 1945
Obligations of the First Friday Devotion
Go to Confession and Communion
on the first Friday of each month for nine consecutive months and pray for the intentions of the Holy Father. As with most devotions that parishes practice this First Friday devotion to the Sacred Heart should be made publicly. This is the Mass to attend if you are starting your nine First Fridays. If there is no such public devotion, make the devotion privately; going to Confession and Communion and pray for the intentions of the reigning Pope. Would you like a monthly reminder of the upcoming First Friday devotion dates?Holy Hour of Reparation
Eucharistic Adoration is to be made for one hour on Thursdays. The Holy Hour can be made alone or as part of a group with formal prayers. Jesus said to his sleeping Apostles on Holy Thursday night, "Could you not watch one hour with me?" -Matthew 26:40 DRB This should help warm our First Friday devotion to His Sacred Heart. Celebrate the Feast of the Sacred Heart the Friday after Trinity Sunday. Make the Act of Reparation to the Sacred Heart and receive Communion on the Feast. Be encouraged to make the Novena To The Sacred Heart for the nine days ahead of the Feast of the Sacred Heart which begins on Thursday of the week before, the feast of Corpus Christi. Be An Apostle Of The Sacred Heart
Consecrate yourself
personally to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and recite the Consecration prayer daily for One Fold and One Shepherd.Participate in the Holy Mass and receive Holy Communion daily, if possible for Reparation. Offer a Holy Hour once a week for Reparation; and encourage others to do the same. – Soul Assurance Prayer Plan, 1945 Consider yourself encouraged. :-) You may publish your prayer requests or thanksgiving for the favors you have received from the First Friday devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus on our form below.

We can only publish those requests that are 500 or more words and we especially welcome the original thanksgiving prayers and conversion stories.
Even old favors make great stories of the Catholic saints that help us in our devotion. Old stories are often more believable since they've passed a test of time. This is a great place to publish your thanksgiving for favors received.
