The First Friday of each month was designated by our Saviour Himself as a day to be consecrated to honouring His Sacred Heart. As the object of this devotion is to make our Saviour Jesus Christ ardently and perfectly loved, and to make reparation for the outrages offered to Him in the past, as well as for those which he daily receives in the Blessed Eucharist; Jesus Christ merits our love at all times, but alas!
He is despised and outraged in the Sacrament of His love at all times, and so people should at all times make reparation to Him…. We should then adore Jesus Christ in this august Sacrament, make a fervent act of love to Jesus in the tabernacle, thank Him for having instituted this Mystery of love, express our sorrow at seeing Him so abandoned, and resolve to visit Him as soon as possible and love Him unceasingly….
