First Friday in October 2023.

October 6, 2023 - First Friday in October. 

The 12 Promises of the Sacred Heart of Jesus through St Margaret Mary Alacoque:  Jesus promised 12 special favors to all those who will honor His Sacred Heart especially on the First Friday of every month by attending Holy Mass and receiving Holy Communion. 

In the 10th month of the year 2023, 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."  We are all priests by virtue of our Baptism.

We are priest, prince and prophet.

Jesus Christ chose and ordained a tiny percentage of men to celebrate the Sacraments. 

The first mission of the Church is evangelization.  As a Catholic Christian, you are an evangelist.

Moreover, the first 3 Spiritual Works of Mercy teach us:

#1. Instruct the ignorant. 

#2. Counsel the doubtful. 

#3. Admonish sinners. 

Jesus promises to give you power to touch the most hardened of sinners.  

Sinners are everywhere. They are in the family. They are friends and neighbors.  Will you refuse the gift promised by the Sacred Heart of Jesus to equip you to help sinners? Moreover, you can apply the grace of this promise to any priest of your choice.  

Honor the Sacred Heart of Jesus this Friday by attending Holy Mass and receiving Holy Communion.
