No progress in prayer?...

"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." - St Margaret Mary Alacoque

"Are you making no progress in prayer?
Then you need only offer God the prayers
which the Savior has poured out for us in the 
sacrament of the altar.  Offer God His fervent
love in reparation for your sluggishness."

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


 "I need nothing but God, 
and to lose myself in the heart of Jesus."
 St Margaret Mary Alacoque

  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.
