Quote/s of the Day – 17 October – St Margaret Mary Alacoque (1647-1690) Virgin

The Twelve Promises of Jesus
to Saint Margaret Mary
or those Devoted to His Sacred Heart:

1. I will give them all the graces necessary for their state of life.
2. I will establish 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 their death.
5. I will pour abundant blessings on all their undertakings.
6. Sinners shall find in My Heart the source of an 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 where an image of My Heart
   shall be exposed and honoured.
10. I will give to priests the power of touching the most hardened hearts.
11. Those who propagate this devotion shall have their names
    written in My Heart, never to 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.

From Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque’s Vision of Jesus

“What a weakness it is to love Jesus Christ
only when He caresses us and to be cold,
immediately He afflicts us.
This is not true love.
Those who love thus,
love themselves too much to love God
with all their heart.”

“Go courageously to God,
along the way He has traced for you,
steadfastly embracing
the means He offers you.”

“Cling to God
and leave all the rest to Him,
He will not let you perish.
Your soul is very dear to Him,
He wishes to save it.”

Be My Strength, O Sacred Heart!
By St Margaret Mary Alacoque (1647-1690)
Visionary of the Sacred Heart

O Sacred Heart of Jesus,
I fly to Thee,
I unite myself to Thee,
I enclose myself in Thee!
Receive my call for help, O my Saviour,
as a sign of my horror, of all within me
contrary to Thy holy love.
Let me die rather a thousand times,
than consent to sin against Thee!
Be my strength, O God –
defend me,
protect me.
I am Thine and desire forever to be Thine!
Amen
