Since my real name is Margaret Mary (Peggy is an Irish nickname-- don't ask me how!), it is only natural that I should be devoted to the Sacred Heart as that particular devotion was given to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque. Our Lord revealed to St. Margaret Mary 12 Promises for those who are devoted to His Sacred Heart.
I took my children to daily Mass today, and we sat in front of the statue of the Sacred Heart. At the conclusion of Mass, our parish priest prayed the Litany of the Sacred Heart, which he also prays on First Fridays. Afterwards, my children and I prayed the Stations of the Cross together. It seemed a fitting way to celebrate this special feast day.
