HONOR THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS ON THE FIRST FRIDAY IN JULY.

FIRST FRIDAY IN JULY 2026. 

July 3rd, 2026 is First Friday in July.

St Margaret Mary Alacoque received the vision where Jesus Our Lord promised 12 special favors to all those who will honor His Sacred Heart especially on the First Friday of every month.

In the 7th month of the year, July 2026, we look at Promise #7. 

#7.  "Tepid souls shall become fervent." 

What is tepid?  Tepid is defined as lukewarm, slightly warm, unenthusiastic, apathetic, half-hearted. 

Listen to what Jesus says about such persons:

"Because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I am about to spit you out of my mouth."  (Revelations 3: 16). 

Are you lukewarm with regards to Jesus, to spiritual things? 

You can regain your fire through devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. 

"Our Lord Jesus Christ has made it known to me that the chief design of this devotion is to turn souls to His love, which is the ultimate purpose of their existence.

 He is a secure refuge against the divine justice."— St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

Consider the immense sorrow of the Savior as He displays His wounded humanity. 

The purpose of today’s meditation is to move your soul from being a mere bystander into becoming an active comforter of Christ. 

Jesus desires your personal affection; He seeks your specific acts of love today to make amends for the coldness of the world. 

Divine Providence has kept you alive for this precise hour:

 to stand in the breach, offering a heart of deep gratitude where others offer only rejection. 

Your professional duties, your patience in traffic, your endurance of daily fatigue—when offered as reparation—take on an immense, supernatural weight that consoles the Heart of God.

 Prayer:

Most loving Jesus, I offer my day to make reparation for the ingratitude shown to Your Sacred Heart in the Tabernacle.

"We should, every morning, place our sufferings, prayers and labors in the pierced Heart of Jesus; there everything will be purified and perfected." (Father Jean Croiset, S.J. Author of "Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus"). 

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