First Friday is Tomorrow, September 5th

Here are the Mass Readings for tomorrow:

The first Friday of each month presents an opportunity for us to participate in a beautiful devotion. Jesus asked for the faithful to specifically receive Holy Communion and complete the First Friday Devotion for nine first Fridays in a row.

​From americaneedsfatima.org, Jesus asked the faithful:

  1. Receive Holy Communion on each First Friday;
  2. The nine Fridays must be consecutive;
  3. They must be made in honor and in reparation to His Sacred Heart.

If this is a new devotion for you, and you would like to complete it, I suggest putting a reminder in your planner right now for the next 9 First Fridays. It's a wonderful feeling to offer that last Friday in reparation for sins against our Lord! After you have completed the 9, it is wonderful to set this time aside with our Lord each month and continue the devotion.

September Novena - Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary Novena

​

Talk with you on the eve of First Friday to send you a reminder of that and First Saturday.

To Jesus through Mary,

Alexandra
