She promised the graces necessary for salvation for those who do this.

The Sacrament of Confession will be available.
For God wants to heal you through the powerful sacrament of the Eucharist. It is His gift to the Church.
What Makes the Healing Mass Unique?
The theme of the entire mass is healing, from the celebrant to the musicians to the participants.
At this Mass people will pray for individual needs.
Examples of prayer might be a physical, spiritual or emotional healing, a relationship problem or help to forgive. God is doing the healing. The celebrant is the instrument that the Lord is using to provide a prayerful environment for Him to work.
