Twelve Promises of the Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

 Sacred Heart

Jesus Apparitions to St Margaret (1673+)

Wherever the image of the Sacred Heart should be exposed with a view to showing it special honour, Jesus would pour forth His blessings and graces.

And He showed me that it was His great desire of being loved by men and of withdrawing them from the path of ruin into which Satan hurls such crowds of them, that made Him form the design of manifesting His Heart to men, with all the treasures of love, of mercy, of grace, of sanctification and salvation which it contains, in order that those who desire to render Him and procure for Him all the honour and love possible, might themselves be abundantly enriched with those divine treasures of which this Heart is the source.
