And taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd. And all ate and were filled. What was left over was gathered up, twelve baskets of broken pieces.

THE UNITY PRAYER
​

My adorable Jesus,
May our feet journey together.
May our hands gather in unity.
May our hearts beat in unison.
May our souls be in harmony.
May our thoughts be as one.
May our ears listen to the silence together.
May our glances profoundly penetrate each other.
May our lips pray together to gain mercy from the Eternal Father.

FIRST
FRIDAY DEVOTION 

Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
is one of the most popular Catholic devotions.
Although it was beloved in previous centuries,
Jesus appeared to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque in 1673, showing her a vision of the now-famous image of His Sacred Heart, surrounded by flames. He said to her: “My Heart is so full of love for men that It can no longer contain the flames of Its burning love. I must discover to men the treasures of
My Heart and save them from perdition."
She was given the special mission to spread devotion to His Sacred Heart throughout the Church.
Jesus gave St. Margaret Mary many promises associated with this devotion, and requested that a feast day in honor of His Sacred Heart be instituted
on the Friday after the Octave of Corpus Christi.
In 1856, the Feast of the Sacred Heart was spread to the Universal Church, and in 1899 Pope Leo XIII
solemnly consecrated all mankind to the
Sacred Heart of Jesus,
calling it “the great act” of his pontificate.

FIRST SATURDAY DEVOTION
The First Saturdays Devotion, also called the
Act of Reparation to the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary. 

Our Lady appeared six times to the children at Fatima, yet her appearance on July 13, 1917 was particularly important. It was also the first time that Our Lady mentioned the First Saturdays.

How does God want us to practice devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary? Our Lady introduced 2 special requests: 
“…I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia and the Communion of Reparation on the first Saturdays. If my requests are heeded, Russia will be converted, and there will be peace…”

The four practices that have to be fulfilled on the First Saturday, each with the intention of making reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, as Our Lady asked in 1925, are the following:
1.   Confession*
2.   Receive Holy Communion*
3.   Pray the Rosary*
4.   Keep her company for 15 minutes while meditating on the mysteries of the Rosary*
* Each of these practices need to be done with the intention of making reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

​                                                 Our Lord Jesus Christ
                              made these twelve promises
                      to those who honor His Sacred Heart

             to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, a French nun, whom he called “the Beloved Disciple of the Sacred Heart”
              and the Heiress “of all Its treasures”, in the 1670’s. They show us how much he cherishes this devotion.


Considering that the blood that redeemed us at Calvary came from His Sacred Heart and that so much love and light still exude from it, we can easily understand why! These promises were revealed in one of many private revelations that Jesus gave St. Margaret Mary.

Our Lord promised the following:
1. I will give them all the graces necessary for their state in life.
2. I will establish peace in their families.
3. I will comfort them in their trials.
4. I will be their secure refuge during life, and, above all, in death.
5. I will shed abundant blessings on all their undertakings
6. Sinners will find in My Heart an infinite ocean of mercy.
7. Lukewarm souls will become fervent.
8. Fervent souls will rapidly grow in holiness and perfection.
9. I will bless every place where an image of My Heart shall be exposed and honored.
10. I will give to priests the gift of touching the most hardened hearts.
11. The names of those who promote this devotion will be written in My Heart, never to be blotted out.
12. I promise thee, in the excessive mercy of My Heart, that My all-powerful love will grant to all those who receive Holy Communion on the First Friday of nine consecutive months, the grace of final penitence; they shall not die in My disgrace nor without receiving their Sacraments; My Divine Heart shall be their safe refuge in this last moment.


Keep in mind in the 12th Promise that our Lord asks us to receive Him in Holy Communion in a state of grace on the First Friday of each of nine consecutive months, a First Friday devotion.
