Today, Catholics have the option of attending the Votive Mass of the Sacred Heart of Jesus rather than the normal weekday Mass. Devotion to the Sacred Heart has been in the Church for many centuries. Our Lord communicated these twelve promises to St. Margaret Mary for those who practice devotion to the Sacred Heart.
1. I will give them all the graces necessary in their state of life.
2. I will establish peace in their families.
3. I will console them in all their difficulties.
4. I will be their secure refuge during life and especially at the hour of death.
5. I will bestow abundant blessings upon all their undertakings.
6. Sinners shall find in my Heart the source and infinite ocean of mercy.
7. Tepid souls shall grow fervent.
8. Fervent souls shall quickly grow to high perfection.
9. I will bless every place in which a picture of my Heart shall be exposed and honored.
10. I will give to priests the gift of touching the most hardened hearts.
11. Those who promote this devotion shall have their names written in my Heart, never to be blotted out.
12. I promise in the excessive mercy of my Heart that my all-powerful love will grant to all those who communicate (take Communion) on the First Friday in nine consecutive months the grace of final penitence; they shall not die in my displeasure nor without receiving the Sacraments; my Divine Heart shall be their safe refuge in the last moment.
Lord God, give us the strength and love of the heart of your Son that, by becoming one with Him, we may have eternal salvation. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
