First Friday Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus (December 6, 2024)
Come let us adore and worship our Lord, whose Sacred Heart longs to pour out upon us His graces and gifts.
All are invited to the 8:30am Mass on the first Friday of the month, December 6, 2024, in honor of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. Solemn Benediction and Eucharistic Adoration follows immediately in the Chapel after the Mass.
We consecrate ourselves to the Sacred Heart by acknowledging Him as Creator and Redeemer and as having full rights over us as King of kings, by repenting, and by resolving to serve Him. We also make reparation for the indifference and ingratitude with which He is treated.
The devotions attached to the promises are:
1. Frequent Holy Communion
2. First Fridays: going to Confession and receiving the Eucharist on the first Friday of each month for nine consecutive months, and offering your prayers in honor and in reparation to His Sacred Heart.
3. Holy Hour: Eucharistic Adoration for one hour on Thursdays.
4. Celebrating the Feast of the Sacred Heart

“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 Friday for nine consecutive months, the grace of final repentance; they shall not die in my disgrace nor without receiving the sacraments; my divine Heart shall be their safe refuge in that last moment.”
— Our Lord to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque
