October 5, 2018 - First Friday in October.
The 12 Promises of the Sacred Heart of Jesus: Jesus promised 12 special favors to all those who will honor His Sacred Heart especially on the First Friday of every month. In the 10th month of the year 2018, we look at Promise #10.
#10. "I will give to priests the power to touch the most hardened hearts."
Do not think: "I am not excited by this promise. I am not a priest." Error! We are all baptized and by virtue of this Baptism are priests, princes and prophets. Of course, Jesus Christ chose a tiny percentage of men and configured them to be ministerial priests to celebrate the Sacraments. The first mission of the Church is evangelization. You see where the 10th Promise is relevant for you? Moreover, the first 3 Spiritual Works of Mercy instruct us:
#1. Instruct the ignorant.
#2. Counsel the doubtful.
#3. Admonish sinners.
Jesus promises to give you power to touch the most hardened of these. They could be family. They could be friends or neighbors. Will you refuse such a gift?
Honor the Sacred Heart of Jesus this Friday by attending Holy Mass.
