12 Promises of the Sacred Heart

The following promises were made by Jesus to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque for those who practice devotion to His Sacred Heart, particularly through the First Fridays.

๐ŸŒฑ I will give them all the graces necessary for their state of life.

๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ I will establish peace in their families.

๐Ÿ’ง I will console them in all their troubles.

๐Ÿฐ They will find in My Heart a secure refuge during life and especially at the hour of death.

๐ŸŒŸ I will pour abundant blessings on all their undertakings.

๐ŸŒŠ Sinners will find in My Heart an infinite ocean of mercy.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Lukewarm souls will grow fervent.

๐ŸŒน Fervent souls will quickly rise to high perfection.

๐Ÿ™ I will bless every place where a picture of My Sacred Heart will be set up and honored.

๐Ÿ’ช I will give to priests the power to touch the most hardened hearts.

๐Ÿ“œ Those who will promote this devotion will have their names eternally written in My Heart.

โค๏ธ I promise in the excessive mercy of My Heart that My all-powerful Love will grant to all those who will receive Holy Communion (in the state of grace) on the First Friday for 9 consecutive months, the grace of final repentance: they will not die in My disgrace, nor without receiving the Sacraments. My Divine Heart will be their safe refuge in that last moment.

In the 12th Promise, our Lord asks us to receive Him in Holy Communion in a state of grace on the First Friday of each of the 9 consecutive months, a FIRST FRIDAY DEVOTION. If you have any grave or serious sins on your soul, it is important to have them absolved in the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession) first. With the FIRST FRIDAY DEVOTION, the Church also grants a Plenary Indulgence for each First Friday observed.
