Friday June 19th we will celebrate the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
This beautiful devotion to the Loving Heart of our Lord is, I believe, essential for those who wish to successfully engage in pro-life work. Our Lord has promised that those who have devotion to His Sacred Heart and promote such devotion will have, “the power to touch the most hardened hearts.” Whose hearts are more hardened than those who promote and or perform abortions? I am thinking of abortionists and politicians primarily! 
Devotional pictures of the Sacred Heart help us to meditate on Our Lord’s awesome love for all of us, for all sinners. I have uploaded one of the more famous Sacred Heart pictures, but lately I prefer to think of a tiny little Sacred Heart, already clearly beating at 21 days beneath the heart of His Immaculate Mother.
The Promises of the Sacred Heart
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. Persons who propagate this devotion shall have their names eternally written in my Heart.
11. I will give to them the power to touch the most hardened hearts.
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.
