"Cor Jesu sacratissimum misserere nobis."
St Margaret Mary Alacoque Pray For Us
1) that our Lord required Communion to be received on a particular day chosen by Him;
(2) that the nine Fridays must be consecutive;
(3) that they must be made in honor of His Sacred Heart, which means that those who make the nine Fridays must practice the devotion and must have a great love for our Lord;
(4) that our Lord does not say that those who make the nine Fridays will be dispensed from any of their obligations or from exercising the vigilance necessary to lead a good life and overcome temptation; rather He implicitly promises abundant graces to those who make the nine Fridays to help them to carry out these obligations and persevere to the end;
(5) that perseverance in receiving Holy Communion for nine consecutive First Firdays helps the faithful to acquire the habit of frequent Communion, which our Lord eagerly desires; and
(6) that the practice of the nine Fridays is very pleasing to our Lord since He promises such great reward, and that all Catholics should endeavor to make the nine Fridays.

Prayer For The First Friday:
Most Sacred heart of Jesus, on the day dedicated to honor
you, we pledge ourselves anew to honour and serve you with our whole
heart. Help us to live our daily lives in a spirit of true concern for
others and deep gratitude to You and to all through whom You love and
serve us.
In the midst of all our trials and tribulations, we will
remember that You are always with us , as you were with the Apostles
when their boat was tossed in to the storm. We renew our faith and
confidence in you.
We will never doubt that You are our friend, living within us
always, walking beside us when courage fails, enlightening us when
doubts cloud our vision of faith, protecting us against the assiduous
lies and deceptions of the evil one.
Lord Jesus, bless each and every one of us, our families, our
parish, our diocese, our country, and our entire world. Bless our jobs,
our undertakings, our entertainments; may they always proceed from your
inspiration.
In all that we do and say, may we be only channels of the
love of Your Sacred Heart for all the people whom you bring within our
reach to receive Your love through us. Comfort those who are sick
(Mention Names); those who are suffering in their hearts or mind; those
who have burdens and are breaking under them (Mention Name).
These two things, most especially, we ask of you today; to
know intimately and love all that your Sacred Heart loves, to imbibe the
attitude of Your Sacred Heart and to express them in our lives.
Finally, we pray that our confidence in You may grow more and
more genuine, day by day and our devotion to the designs of the Sacred
Heart, more and more committed. Amen
