Twelve Promises of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

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. They shall find in My Heart an assured refuge during life and especially at the hour of death.
5. I will pour abundant blessings on 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 speedily rise to great perfection.
9. I will bless the homes in which the image of My Sacred Heart shall be exposed and honoured.
10. I will give to priests the power to touch the most hardened hearts.
11. Those who propagate this devotion shall have their name written in My Heart, and it shall never be effaced.
12. The all-powerful love of My Heart
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 their Sacraments; My Heart shall be their assured refuge at that last hour.
``And He showed me
that it was His great desire
of being loved
by men and of withdrawing
them from the path of ruin
into which Satan hurls such crowds
of them, that made Him form
the design of manifesting
His Heart to men,
with all the treasures of love,
of mercy, of grace, of sanctification
and salvation which it contains,
in order that those who desire
to render Him and procure

for Him all the honour and love possible,
might themselves be
abundantly enriched
with those divine treasures of which
this Heart is the source.
He should be honoured under
the figure of this Heart of flesh,
and its image should be exposed....
He promised me that wherever
this image should be exposed
with a view to showing it special honour,
He would pour forth
His blessings and graces.
This devotion was the last effort
of His love that He would grant
to men in these latter ages,
in order to withdraw from
the empire of Satan
which He desired to destroy,
and thus to introduce them
into the sweet liberty
of the rule
of His love,
which He wished to restore
in the hearts of all those
who should embrace this devotion.''
