How it enhances prayer and deepens other devotions:

​

There are many wonderful prayer devotions in the Church. One for example is the holy Rosary.

Praying the holy Rosary focused on a sacred image of our Lord during this contemplative prayer will increase ones focus, concentration, and avail oneself to deeper prayer. The Divine mercy prayers are usually said with the Divine Mercy image in close view. Our Lord promised special graces would be given to those who venerate this image. The Sacred Heart and Precious Blood devotions are both perfect to recite as a Face to face prayer as well your personal prayers and many other devotions.

​

On the first Tuesday of 1937, Jesus spoke to and assured Sr. Maria Pierina this devotion would not interfere with others honoring Him. "Perhaps some souls fear that the devotion to My holy Face may diminish that to My Sacred Heart. Tell them that,on the contrary, it will complete and increase it. Contemplating My Face, souls will share in My sorrow and will feel the need for love and reparation. Is this not the true devotion to Mt Heart?

(Sr. Maria Pierina, 1890-1845 now Blessed, belonged to the Congregation of the Daughters of the Immaculate Conception)
