THE 12 PROMISES OF THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS
Our Lord Jesus Christ appeared to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque between 1673- 1675. Among the words spoken to her, she heard Jesus make 12 promises to
those who would respond to the pleading of His Heart and make an effort to return His love. St. Margaret Mary once said, “I do not know of any other exercise in the spiritual
life that is more calculated to raise a soul in a short amount of time to the height of perfection and to make it taste the true sweetness to be found in the service of Jesus Christ.”
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.
