Filipinos catholics and other catholics all over the world celebrate first Friday devotion.Source tells us that the devotion is in relation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. It is believed that Jesus appeared to St. Margaret Mary and spoke to her of His Sacred Heart. Among the promises is a teaching moment especially to every believer who prepares not only for this earth but also for life after: "All my powerful love will grant to those who will receive communion for 9 consecutive months the grace of final repentance - they will not die in my displeasure and my Heart will be their refuge to that last moment . . .." For true believers, this devotion does not only last for 9 months but  forever.

For the young and the elderly, this devotion reminds us of the time when nothing else matters but the Savior's Hand when the time of death comes. This is one teaching moment that should not be left to chance for if there is one reality that does not escape every person, it is death. Let it be taught also that the devotion is not solely to prepare for death but mainly to live a live so full that tomorrow can take care of itself if today is well lived.

Now this blogger has to prepare for school and join the others who will offer mass in the gymnasium of Bukidnon State University, Malaybalay City, Province of Bukidnon, Philippines.
