The 12 PROMISES of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
A devotion that transforms homes
In June 1675, Jesus appeared to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, a nun of the Visitation Order, and showed her his Sacred Heart:
red, alive, surrounded by flames of love, crowned with thorns, with an open wound and a cross on top.
With that image, Jesus entrusted her with a mission: to spread devotion to his Heart among Christian families and communities.
And along with that mission, he made twelve promises for those who consecrate themselves to him and honor his image at home.
The 12 promises of the Heart of Jesus
-
I will give to the devout souls all the graces necessary for their state of life.
-
I will establish peace in their families.
-
I will comfort them in all their afflictions.
-
I will be your safe haven during life and especially at the hour of death.
-
I will abundantly bless all your undertakings and works.
-
Sinners will find in my Heart the source and the infinite ocean of mercy.
-
Lukewarm souls will become fervent.
-
Fervent souls will quickly rise to great perfection.
-
I will bless the homes where the image of my Heart is exposed and honored.
-
I will give priests the gift of moving the most hardened hearts.
-
People who propagate this devotion will have their name written in my Heart.
-
I promise in the excessive mercy of my Heart, that my almighty love will grant the grace of final penance to all those who receive communion on the first Fridays of nine consecutive months.
If you want to begin this journey, we will offer you a special sculpture of the Sacred Heart.
Made with devotion, inspired by St. Margaret's vision and designed to help you consecrate your home.
A devotion confirmed by saints and popes
The Church has recognized devotion to the Sacred Heart as one of the most powerful and fruitful.
🕊️ St. John Paul II said: "The Heart of Christ is the source of life and holiness. To him we must return unceasingly".
🕊️ St. Claude de la Colombière, confessor of St. Margaret, affirmed, "There is no more efficacious means of sanctification than devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus."
🕊️ St. Therese of Lisieux, already as a child, consecrated herself to the Heart of Jesus and invoked him as "my only Love".
🕊️ Benedict XVI taught: "Devotion to the Sacred Heart is authentically Christocentric. It introduces us to a profound knowledge of the love of Christ."
What does it mean to have the Heart of Jesus at home?
Placing an image of the Heart of Jesus in your home is not a decorative gesture. It is an enthronement:
It means that Jesus reigns there.
That you and your family want to live under his love and mercy.
That you consecrate your life, your worries, your projects... to his Heart wounded by love.
