Rosary Novena Day 53: Did You Forget This Free Gift?

ROSARY NOVENA: DAY 53

Have you ever found money you forgot about in your pocket? It feels like a free gift – from yourself to… yourself!

We all love receiving gifts. But sometimes the greatest gifts are things we take for granted. It’s only when we come close to losing them, that we remember they are gifts. Our family, our friendships, our faith – do we appreciate them fully?

When you read the Twelve Promises of the Sacred Heart, I hope that it encourages you and helps you rediscover the gift of our Faith. Jesus is inviting us to follow Him, entrust our lives to Him, and pursue Him more deeply in the sacraments. All Jesus asks is that we put up an image of the Sacred Heart in our home, honor it, and offer Him your heart in return.

Take a moment to remember a few of those promises:

“I will establish peace in their homes.”

“Lukewarm souls shall become fervent.”

“I will bestow abundant blessings upon all their undertakings.”

If your family is facing struggles or if you need spiritual encouragement, follow the Sacred Heart! Jesus presented St. Margaret Mary Alacoque this devotion as a roadmap that leads directly to Him.

Join us tonight for the Family Rosary Across America® at 7pm CT as we give thanks for the consecration of our country to the Sacred Heart of Jesus by the U.S. Bishops today!

And now, you can also join our Family Rosary Across America text group by texting HEART to 914914 for updates and reminders to pray with us during this novena.

See you at the Rosary!
