The Great Promise
“I promise you, in the excessive mercy of My Heart, that My all-powerful love will grant to all those who receive Communion on the First Fridays in nine consecutive months the grace of final perseverance; they shall not die in My disgrace, nor without receiving their sacraments.”The Great Promise · Promise No. 12 of the Sacred Heart
