1. “Our Heart To God’s
Heart”
Communion of Reparation Vigil

3. The devotion to the Sacred
Heart of Jesus can be
considered as ancient as the
Church itself.
Introduction
It began on Calvary, when
Jesus’ Divine Heart was
transfixed by the lance.

4. Introduction
However, this devotion was
only practiced by few chosen
souls and it is only on the
seventeenth century that the
Heart of Jesus was honored
in a solemn manner.
In the year 1675, Jesus
Christ appearead to a pious
nun, Margareth Mary
Alacoque in a monastery in
Paray-le Monial, France

5. Introduction
“Behold, this Heart which
loves men so ardently, is
so little loved in return”
Jesus then desired that a
special feast should be set
apart to honour his Heart,
and to offer it in worship
and reparation.

6. Means of Honoring the
Heart of Jesus

7. 1. Frequent Communion
Since the object of the
devotion to the sacred
Heart of Jesus is to enflame
all Hearts with love, the
memorial of all the miracles
of love of Jesus is the HOLY
EUCHARIST.

8. 2. Frequent visit to Jesus
in the Blessed Sacrament
There is nothing so
acceptable to the Sacred
Heart of Jesus, or so
beneficial to our souls, as to
visit him regularly in the
sacrament of His love, The
Most Blessed Sacrament.

9. 3. To Sanctify the first
Friday of every month.
“You must communicate on
the first Friday of every
month so as to honor my
outraged Heart.”
The first Friday of each
month is therefore a feast
day establish by our Lord
Himself, a day which his
Divine Heart expands to
bestow on us copious and
special grace.

10. 4. To venerate it’s
pictures.
Jesus desired that the
representation of His Heart
should be publicly exposed,
in order for him to touch the
cold hearts of men.
He promised to pour forth
abundant grace to those
who honor it.

22. C- onversion
All of us needs to change

action.
No renewal can move
forward without it.

lives

all sincerity and
seriousness to God means
asking him to work
through each of us, to
fulfill his will and purpose
not only in ourselves but
also in the ongoing course
of the plan of salvation.

lacking in the suffering of
Christ, for the sake of his

Messiah had to suffer and on
the third day rise from the
dead. Then repentance and
forgiveness in his name will
be proclaim to all the nations

Jesus and Mary be
praised every where!
