Write for God

This poster-sized image of the Sacred Heart has a prominent place in our home.

My patron saint, St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, was the Apostle of the Sacred Heart and images of Jesus expressing his immeasurable love have always been displayed in every home where I’ve lived. Our home is devoted to the Sacred Heart, in fact, and the adversities our family has faced in the past 18 months have led me to collect images of the Sacred Heart. I’ve directed many prayers to the heart of Jesus that is broken for the world.

These are the Sacred Heart promises that were made to us through my patron saint:

1. I will give them all the graces necessary for their state of life.
2. I will give peace in their families.
3. I will console them in all their troubles.
4. I will be their refuge in life and especially in death.
5. I will abundantly bless all their undertakings.
6. Sinners shall find in my Heart the source and infinite ocean of mercy.
7. Tepid souls shall become fervent.
8. Fervent souls shall rise speedily to great perfection.
9. I will bless those places wherein the image of My Sacred Heart shall be exposed and venerated.
10. I will give to priests the power to touch the most hardened hearts.
11. Persons who propagate this devotion shall have their names eternally written in my Heart.
12. In the excess of the mercy of my Heart, I promise you that my all powerful love will grant to all those who will receive Communion on the First Fridays, for nine consecutive months, the grace of final repentance: they will not die in my displeasure, nor without receiving the sacraments; and my Heart will be their secure refuge in that last hour.
