Have you ever wondered what the most powerful way to support your priest is? Fortunately, Jesus told us what it is?
Jesus gave us the Tenth Promise from His Sacred Heart that helps you do just that:
“I will give to priests the power to touch the most hardened hearts.”
That’s a promise Jesus gave to St. Margaret Mary, but not just for priests. It’s also for the people who support them by honoring His Sacred Heart.
Think about Fr. Claude La Colombière, the Jesuit priest who met St. Margaret Mary in 1675. Before he arrived at her convent, he was already a faithful priest. But after hearing about her visions and seeing her deep devotion to the Sacred Heart, his own faith caught fire.
He didn’t just believe her, he became the boldest voice for the Sacred Heart in France. He became an outspoken advocate for Jesus and these promises that we’re learning about today. Through him, Jesus softened hearts, converted souls, and spread this devotion far and wide.
Now imagine a priest you know – your pastor, your friend, maybe even a young seminarian. Your prayers, your encouragement, and your own devotion to the Sacred Heart will help him do the same!
So display the image of the Sacred Heart in your home and pray today for one priest by name. They need your prayers! And Jesus promises to work through His priests in powerful ways when we honor His Heart.
