The Promises of the Sacred Heart

From the Feast of Corpus Christi (transferred in the United States to the following Sunday, but held traditionally the second Thursday following Pentecost) we can join in a Novena of the Sacred Heart to prepare us for the feast of the Sacred Heart the following Friday. This devotion and feast are the Gift of St. Margaret Mary Alocoque.

Our Lord Jesus Christ appeared to St. Margaret Mary 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.

 

“Behold this Heart, which has loved so much but has received nothing but coldness, indifference, and ingratitude in return.”

Sequence for Pentecost

Come, Holy Spirit, come!
And from your celestial home
Shed a ray of light divine!
 
Come, Father of the poor!
Come, source of all our store!
Come, within our bosoms shine.
 
You, of comforters the best;
You, the soul's most welcome guest;
Sweet refreshment here below;
 
In our labor, rest most sweet;
Grateful coolness in the heat;
Solace in the midst of woe.
 
O most blessed Light divine,
Shine within these hearts of yours,
And our inmost being fill!
 
Where you are not, we have naught,
Nothing good in deed or thought,
Nothing free from taint of ill.
 
Heal our wounds, our strength renew;
On our dryness pour your dew;
Wash the stains of guilt away:
 
Bend the stubborn heart and will;
Melt the frozen, warm the chill;
Guide the steps that go astray.
 
On the faithful, who adore
And confess you, evermore
In your sevenfold gift descend;
 
Give them virtue's sure reward;
Give them your salvation, Lord;
Give them joys that never end.
Amen. Alleluia.
