Prayer to the Holy Heart of Jesus

- consecration of oneself and loved ones to the Heart of Jesus -

My Jesus,

today and forever I consecrate myself to Your Most Sacred Heart.

Accept the offer of my whole being,

how much I am and how much I own.

Welcome me under your protection together with all my loved ones: fill our whole life with your blessing and always keep us united in your love and peace.

Remove all evil from us and guide us on the path of good: make us small in humility of heart but great in faith, hope and love.

Help us in our weaknesses;

support us in the effort of living

and be our comfort in pain and tears.

Help us to carry out your Holy Will every day, to make ourselves worthy of Paradise and to live, already here on earth, always united with Your Most Sweet Heart.

THE GREAT PROMISE OF THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS:

THE FIRST NINE FRIDAY OF THE MONTH

12. "To all those who, for nine consecutive months, will communicate on the first Friday of each month, I promise the grace of final perseverance: they will not die in my misfortune, but will receive the Holy Sacraments and my Heart will be safe for them asylum in that extreme moment. " (Letter 86)

The twelfth promise is called "great", because it reveals the divine mercy of the Sacred Heart towards humanity. Indeed, he promises eternal salvation.

These promises made by Jesus have been authenticated by the authority of the Church, so that every Christian can confidently believe in the faithfulness of the Lord who wants everyone safe, even sinners.

To be worthy of the Great Promise it is necessary:

1. Approaching Communion. Communion must be done well, that is, in the grace of God; if you are in mortal sin you must first confess. Confession must be made within 8 days before the 1st Friday of each month (or 8 days later, provided that the conscience is not stained by mortal sin). Communion and Confession must be offered to God with the intention of repairing the offenses caused to the Holy Heart of Jesus.

2. Communicate for nine consecutive months, on the first Friday of each month. So whoever had started the Communions and then forgotten, sickness or other reason, had left out even one, must start again.

3. Communicate every first Friday of the month. The pious practice can be started in any month of the year.

4. Holy Communion is reparative: it must therefore be received with the intention of offering suitable reparation for too many offenses caused to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
