Litany of the Sacred Heart of Jesus after the 6:30 AM & 8:00 AM Masses
Jesus said these words to St. Margaret Mary, “I
promise you in the excessive mercy of my Heart that
its all-powerful love will grant to all those who
receive Holy Communion on nine First Fridays of
consecutive months the grace of final repentance;
they will not die under my displeasure or without
receiving their sacraments, my divine Heart making
itself their assured refuge at the last moment."
With regard to this promise
Our Lord required:
1. Receive Holy Communion 2. That the nine Fridays must
be consecutive
3. That they must be made in
honor of His Sacred Heart
First Saturday Devotion to the
Immaculate Heart of Mary
December 3
Rosary and Devotion after the 8:00 AM Mass.
The following are the conditions Our Lady requests
regarding the First Saturdays of the month to obtain
for us “at the hour of death the graces necessary for
salvation."
With the intention of making reparation to the
Immaculate Heart of Mary:
1. Go to Confession 2. Receive Holy Communion 3. Recite the Rosary 4. “Keep me company for an additional fifteen minutes
while meditating on the
mysteries of the Rosary.” (It is preferable to
meditate on one mystery each month during
these additional fifteen minutes.)

Sacred Heart of Jesus

Life and the Catholic Faith.
Featured CD:
According to Fr. William Casey, Superior
General of the Fathers of Mercy, "We are
living at the time of the greatest loss of faith
in the 2000-year history of the Catholic
Church". Discover how faith in the Real
Presence of Jesus can remedy this as Fr.
Casey explains and defends the Catholic
Eucharistic doctrine and encourages us to
pray before the Blessed Sacrament to help us
grow spiritually.
Parishioner Comments
“This helps me to reflect during Mass on the
reason I am in church and gives me such
love for the Eucharist. I want to learn more!”
