dwells in this Sacrament
burning with love for us.
It is there continually performing
thousands of good deeds towards us."

FEAST DAY - August 19
“Our wish, our object, our chief preoccupation must be to form Jesus in ourselves,
to make His spirit, His devotion, His affections, His desires and His disposition
live and reign there. All our religious exercises should be directed to this end.
It is the work which God has given us to do unceasingly.”

Ste John Eudes, ora pro nobis!
Hello Janette! I hope this finds you well. Sorry I have not been able to stop by and leave a comment, and yes, I have missed do that. I have just read a couple and today's is so moving! I love the image of the Sacred Heart! St. John Eudes is a wonderful Saint and I am grateful to count him amongst my "special friends" in Heaven! Thank you for all you do! John K.
