Today is the First Friday of the month. The First Friday Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus has many promises attached to those true faithful who are committed to the devotion, including final perseverence. The devotion traditionally obliges Catholics to receive Holy Communion on First Fridays. However, because there are not many fully Catholic options available for Mass in our day, those in a state of grace can partake in a spiritual communion, after saying the Act of Consecration of the Human Race to the Sacred Heart & the following prayers at fixed times of the day:

Some Prayers to the Sacred Heart:

O Sacred Heart of Jesus, I love Thee, and desire to love Thee more and more!

O Heart of Jesus, burning with love for us, enflame our hearts with the love of Thee!

O Sacred Heart of Jesus, mayest Thou be known, loved & adored throughout the whole world!

O Heart of my dear Redeemer, may the love of Thy friends make amends for the insults and constant neglect which Thou sustainest!
