THE NINE FIRST FRIDAY’S DEVOTION AND
THE TWELVE PROMISES OF THE SACRED
HEART made to St. Margaret Mary with added
prayer for daily neglect.
1. I will give them all the graces necessary for their
state of live.
2. I will give peace in their families.
3. I will console them in all their troubles.
4. They shall find in my Heart an assured refuge
during life and especially at the hour of death.
5. I will pour abundant blessing on all their
undertakings.
6. Sinners shall find in my Heart the source and
infinite ocean of mercy.
7. Tepid souls shall become fervent.
8. Fervent souls shall speedily rise to great
perfection.
9. I will bless the homes in which the image of my
Sacred Heart shall be exposed and honored.
10. I will give to priest the power to touch the most
hardened hearts.
11. Those who propagate this devotion shall have
their name written in my Heart and it shall never be
effaced.
12. The all-powerful love of my Heart will grant to
all those who shall receive communion on the First
Friday of Nine consecutive months the grace of final
repentance; they shall not die under my displeasure,
nor without receiving the Sacraments; My Heart shall
be their assured refuge at the Last Hour.
This devotion consists in attending Holy Mass and
receiving Holy Communion in reparation for those
who do not receive Our Lord, who do not love Him
and who wound Him by their sinful lives.
Prayer for Daily Neglects
ETERNAL FATHER, I offer You, the Sacred Heart
of Jesus, with all its love, all its sufferings, and all its
merits. First, to expiate all the sins I have committed
this day and during all my life. Glory be to the
Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it
was in the beginning, is now, and shall ever be, world
without end. Amen. Second, to purify the good I have
done poorly this day and during all my life. Glory be,
etc. Third, to supply for the good I ought to have
done, and that I have neglected this day and all my
life. Glory Be. etc.

ANNULMENTS (Declarations of Nullity)
The Tribunal of the Diocese of Bismarck assists Bishop
David D. Kagan D.D., P.A., K.C.L., in his ministry to
serve the people of our Diocese. As part of this ministry,
the office of Canonical Services is pleased to announce
the implementation of an expanded service to this area. By
way of video conferencing our tribunal staff is now
available on a weekly basis to assist divorced Catholic and
non-Catholic persons who may be seeking clarity and/ or
an explanation about the annulment process.
GoToMeeting is a confidential and secure way to conduct
online collaborative, face to face interviews and meetings
between a tribunal auditor and anyone interested in the
annulment process. An interview is recommended in order
to begin the process. The purpose of the meeting would be
to get a general overview of the basis for an annulment
and to obtain the paper-work necessary to get the process
started. Our secure and confidential site is located at Our
Lady of Grace Catholic Church, 707 16th Ave SW, Minot,
ND 58701.
If you have any questions or wish to schedule an
appointment, please call 1-701-204-7203
NO CATHOLIC TURNED AWAY! If you would like
your child to attend Bishop Ryan Catholic School, and are
unable to afford the tuition, please call Father Justin
Waltz. There are scholarships available. St. Leo’s will
make every effort to insure that no catholic student is
denied a catholic school education!
In the Spirit of Valentine’s Day
“If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but
have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a
clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and
can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I
have a faith that can move mountains, but have not
love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor
and surrender my body to the flames, but have not
love, I gain nothing.” (1 Corinthians 13:1-3)
