The 12 Promises of the Sacred Heart (and Novena)


The 12 Promises of the Sacred Heart (and Novena)

To All Our Friends,


The practice of nine-day novenas actually began during the 9 days between the Ascension of Our Lord into Heaven and the Feast of Pentecost. The apostles and Our Blessed Mother waited in prayer for the coming of the Holy Spirit.

The term, NOVENA, comes from the Latin word meaning "NINE." Today there are many novenas prayed by Catholics. We Sisters invite you to join with us in praying the nine day novena before the Feast of the Sacred Heart on Friday, June 19, 2009.

We will begin our novena on this coming Wednesday, June 10th, and will continue until Thursday, June 18, 2009. Beginning today we will put one of the 12 promises of the Sacred Heart on this blog. ALL of them are so timely. We invite your comments. Sister Commentaria

Dear Sister Commentaria,

In elementary religion class I learned that grace is God's own life within us. And He is all-powerful. This is a consoling and most helpful reminder to me that I am not alone.
