First Friday Devotion

First Friday Devotion is a Catholic practice dedicated to honoring the Sacred Heart of Jesus. It involves attending Mass and receiving Holy Communion on the first Friday of nine consecutive months as an act of reparation for sins. The devotion is rooted in the revelations of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, who reported that Jesus expressed a desire for people to show love and devotion to His Sacred Heart.

Those who observe this devotion are believed to receive twelve promises from Jesus, including peace in their families, consolation in troubles, and final repentance at the hour of death. The practice is a way for Catholics to deepen their faith and express gratitude for Christ’s love.
