Devotion to the Sacred Heart every day: prayer on December 24th

Very sweet heart of Jesus, who made your consoling promise to your great devoted Saint Margaret Mary: "I will bless the houses, in which the image of my Heart will be exposed", deign to accept the consecration that we make of our family, with the which we intend to recognize you as King of our souls and to proclaim the dominion that you have over all creatures and over us.

Your enemies, O Jesus, do not want to recognize your sovereign rights and repeat the satanic cry: We do not want him to reign over us! thus tormenting your most lovable Heart in the most cruel way. Instead, we will repeat to you with greater impetus and greater love: Reign, O Jesus, over our family and over each of the members who make it up; reigns on our minds, because we can always believe the truths you have taught us; reigns on our hearts because we always want to follow your divine commands. Be you alone, divine Heart, the sweet King of our souls; of these souls, whom you have conquered at the price of your precious blood and whom you want all salvation.

And now, Lord, according to your promise, bring your blessings down upon us. Bless our jobs, our businesses, our health, our interests; assist us in joy and pain, prosperity and adversity, now and always. May peace, harmony, respect, mutual love and good example reign among us.

Defend us from dangers, from diseases, from misfortunes and above all from sin. Finally, deign to write our name in the most sacred wound of your Heart and never allow it to be erased again, so that, after being united here on earth, we can one day find ourselves all united in heaven singing the glories and triumphs of your mercy. Amen.

COMMENT TO THE TENTH PROMISE
"I WILL GIVE PRIESTS THE GIFT TO MOVE THE MOST HARDENED HEARTS".

Jesus says to his priests: "I am sending you to the world, but you must not be of the world". The Priest continually evokes the presence of the crucifix and more than any other bears the stigmata in his own body: only one joy is possible and lawful for him, but he wins over all the joyful ones: «quench the thirst for Jesus who has souls of souls , quenching thirst for Jesus who is thirsty for him ». If it fails for this one purpose, its existence is truly reduced to an agony of Golgotha. But good Jesus who drank the chalice of Gethsemane to the last drop and therefore experienced all the priestly agony feels infinite pity for the apostles who were stricken with failure, and gave them the golden bait: his Heart.

By spreading the great devotion, the priest will be able to liquefy the ice, to bend the most rebellious will; it will make the sick evenings, the poor resigned, the agonizing smiling.

«My divine Master has made me know that those who work for the salvation of souls, will work with wonderful success and will know the art of moving the most hardened hearts, provided they have a tender devotion to the Sacred Heart, and they are committed to inspiring it and establishing it everywhere ».

Jesus guarantees us that we will save souls to the extent that we will love and make his Sacred Heart loved, and by saving our brothers, we will not only ensure eternal salvation, but we will achieve a high degree of glory, proportionate precisely to our commitment to zeal the cult of the Sacred Heart. Here are the precise words of the Confidante: «Jesus secures the salvation of all those who consecrate themselves to him in order to procure for him all the love, honor, glory that will be in their power and is eager to sanctify and make them as great before His eternal Father, as they will have been concerned to dilate the kingdom of his love in the hearts ».

"Fortunate those he will employ for the execution of his designs!"
