THE CHAPLET OF THE TWO HEARTS
 
The Chaplet of the Two Hearts consists of a "Two Hearts" Medal and 5 sets of 4 beads, 20 altogether.
During each of the five quartets, meditate on one of the following spiritual themes:
1. In Honour of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
2. In Honour of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
3. The Passion of Our Lord.
4. The Sorrows of Mary.
5. In Atonement to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
On the large bead, pray one Our Father prayer.
On the next three small beads, pray one "Hail Mary" prayer per bead.
And finally, on the Two Hearts medal pray to the Loving Hearts of Jesus and Mary, which follows.
"O Loving Hearts of Jesus and Mary,
You are all grace, all mercy, all love.
Let my heart be joined to Yours,
so that my every need is present
in Your Loving Hearts.
Most especially,
shed Your grace upon this particular need...
(State your petition here.)
Help me to recognize
and accept Your loving will in my life.
Holy and Sacred Wounds
of the Loving Hearts of Jesus and Mary,
answer my prayer, I plead.
Amen."
This chaplet can be found on page 60 of the seventh edition of
Patricia S. Quintiliani's "My Treasury of Chaplets", from Ravengate Press.

The Twelve Promises of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
to Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque
There are 12 promises that go with the displaying of the Sacred Heart in a family home. Usually this is done by hanging the image of Jesus on the wall and having a priest come and "Enthrone" Him. The "Enthronement" is a small ceremony with special devotional prayers that invoke the protection of the Sacred & Immaculate Hearts.
These 12 promises were not given in a "list" form to Saint Margaret Mary by Jesus, but as she wrote about what Jesus had told her about His loving Heart, these promises emerged. Some long time later an American businessman gleaned these promises from Saint Margaret Mary's writings, and made a list for us to contemplate and hold.
The twelve promises are as follows:
1. I WILL GIVE THEM ALL THE GRACES NECESSARY FOR THEIR STATE OF LIFE.
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 BLESSINGS 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 PRIESTS 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.
AN OFFERING TO THE HEARTS
OF JESUS AND MARY
O Jesus, only Son of God, only Son of Mary,
I offer Thee the most loving Heart of Thy divine Mother
which is more precious and pleasing to Thee than all hearts.
O Mary, Mother of Jesus,
I offer Thee the most adorable Heart
of Thy well-beloved Son,
who is the life and love and joy of Thy Heart.
Blessed be the Most Loving Heart
and Sweet Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ
and the most glorious
Virgin Mary, His Mother,
in eternity and forever.
Amen.
St. John Eudes
