What is the significance of first fridays




















Margaret Mary. Sacred Heart of Jesus, animated with a desire to repair the outrages unceasingly offered to Thee, we prostrate before Thy throne of mercy, and in the name of all mankind, pledge our love and fidelity to Thee!

The more Thy mysteries are blasphemed, the more firmly we shall believe them, O Sacred Heart of Jesus! The more impiety endeavors to extinguish our hopes of immortality, the more we shall trust in Thy Heart, sole hope of mankind! The more Thy holy laws are transgressed and ignored, the more we shall delight to observe them, O most holy Heart of Jesus!

The more Thy Sacraments are despised and abandoned, the more frequently we shall receive them with love and reverence, O most liberal Heart of Jesus! The more the imitation of Thy virtues is neglected and forgotten, the more we shall endeavor to practice them, O Heart of Jesus, model of every virtue!

The more the devil labors to destroy souls, the more we shall be inflamed with desire to save them, O Heart of Jesus, zealous Lover of souls! The more sin and impurity destroy the image of God in man, the more we shall try by purity of life to be a living temple of the Holy Spirit, O Heart of Jesus! The more Thy Vicar on earth is persecuted, the more we will honor him as the infallible head of Thy Holy Church, show our fidelity and pray for him, O kingly Heart of Jesus!

Here are some numbers: 20 million users around the world read Aleteia. As you can imagine, these numbers represent a lot of work. We need you. It only takes a minute. Thank you! Donate now! And today we celebrate Prayer for this morning. Daily meditation. Prayer for this evening.

Those who propagate this devotion shall have their name written in My Heart, and it shall never be effaced. I promise thee in the excess of the mercy of My Heart, that its all-powerful love will grant to all those who shall receive Communion on the first Friday of nine consecutive months the grace of final repentance; they shall not die under My displeasure, nor without receiving the sacraments; My Heart shall be their assured refuge at that last hour.

Believe it! When the Blessed Mother appeared to the three shepherd children at Fatima in , she spoke about the offenses against the Heart of her Son and how devotion to her own heart would bring about needed reparation. She asked that the faithful to make these acts of reparation on the first Saturday of each month for five consecutive months by attending Holy Mass and devoutly praying the holy rosary.

Lent is upon us and so now is the time to try getting up early on the first Friday before work and shutting off the cartoons a little earlier on the first Saturday to grow in devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

It will change your life and the life of your entire family. Great graces await you. Ave Maria! Gardner is pastor of St. If you have a question you were afraid to ask, now is the time to ask it!
