1. "I will give them
all the graces necessary
in their state of life."The
divinity of Jesus, the meaning of ‘grace’ and its role in
one’s choice of state in life (priesthood, religious life,
matrimony, or consecrated secularity). |
| |
|
|
|
2. "I will establish
peace in their homes." The peace
of Christ – the tranquility of order in the family, society
and country at large – versus the false “peace” of the world
– mere absence of conflict. The home: the locus of a family,
that is, one man, one woman, married for life and open to
life. |
| |
|
|
|
3. "I will comfort
them in their afflictions."
The role of the Cross in life and how to
profit from it. Suffering in life is unavoidable: but one
carries the Cross as a saint, a penitent or a reprobate.
|
| |
|
|
|
4. "I will be their
secure refuge during life,
and above all in death."The
reality of death and the preparation for the afterlife. A
true Catholic does not die: he passes from one life unto
another. Eternity awaits the just. |

bless all their undertakings."

endeavors. The virtue of Confidence and its rewards.

in My Heart the source and the infinite ocean of mercy."
Rediscovering the sense of sin, its kinds
and remedies, in order to benefit from the Sacred Heart’s
infinite mercy. |
| |
|
|
|
7. "Lukewarm souls
shall grow fervent."
“Lukewarmness” disgusts Our Lord so much that the word is
found only once in the whole Bible: Apoc. 3:15. St Alphonsus
Liguori explains it and how to be rescued from it by
devotion to the Sacred Heart. |
| |
|
|
|
8. "Fervent souls
shall quickly rise to high perfection."
“Be ye perfect even as your heavenly Father
is perfect”, is the conclusion of the Sermon of the Mount.
The Sacred Heart perfects us in this devotion.
|
| |
|
|
|
9. "I will bless every
place where a picture of My Heart shall be set up and
honored." Against the iconoclast
heresy of former times and its renewal in the last 40 years,
Jesus wants statues and pictures of His Sacred Heart as part
of the devotion. |
| |
|
|
|
10. "I will give to
priests the gift of touching
the most hardened hearts."
A promise especially geared to priests:
the confessional as the ultimate weapon against sin –The
example of St John Vianney. |
| |
|
|
|
11. "Those who shall
promote this devotion shall have their names written in My
Heart, never to be blotted out."
Catholic Action for the Sacred Heart
brings about happiness. Intimate, heavenly friendship with
the Incarnate Word of God is available to all. |

|
|
12. "I promise thee in
the excessive mercy of My Heart that My all-powerful love
will grant to all those who communicate on the First Friday
in nine consecutive months, the grace of final penitence;
they shall not die in My disgrace nor without receiving
their Sacraments; My Divine Heart shall be their safe refuge
in this last moment."
The reality of Heaven and the Beatific
vision. The ultimate excess of mercy for the last moment
prior to entering the eternal joy of contemplating the
Beatific vision! |
