Supremely humbled... in the Host

Instead of these things thou didst give thy people the food of angels... providing every pleasure and suited to every taste. - Wisdom 16:20

"Let every knee bend before Thee,
O greatness of my God,
so supremely humbled in the Sacred Host.

May every heart love Thee,
every spirit adore Thee and
every will be subject to Thee."

St Margaret Mary Alacoque
Saint of the Sacred Heart
Visitation Sister
France ~ 1647-1690
FEAST DAY - October 16


"All for the Eucharist, nothing for me."- St Margaret Mary 

 St Margaret Mary Alacoque, pray for us!


The Twelve Promises of Jesus to Saint Margaret Mary
for 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 honored.
  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.

Enthronement and Consecration
of the Sacred Heart as King of the Family

WHEN WE ENTHRONE JESUS IN OUR HOMES, WE PLACE A PICTURE OF HIS
SACRED HEART IN A PROMINENT PLACE TO FOREVER REMIND US
OF HIS GREAT LOVE FOR US AND HOW WE SHOULD GRATEFULLY
LOVE HIM FOR HIS GOODNESS EVERY DAY OF OUR LIVES.
