SOLEMNITY of
the Most SACRED HEART of JESUS
His love endures forever! (cf. Ps
136)
"The very core of Christianity is
expressed in the heart of Jesus ... the Love that saves us and even now makes us
live in the eternity of God (John 3:16). ... God's
heart calls to our hearts, inviting us to come out of ourselves,
to forsake our human certainties, to trust in Him and by following His example,
to make ourselves a gift of unbounded love."
~ Pope Benedict
XVI
"I am linked with Eternal Love through the Blessed
Sacrament. In His temple within me, the Saviour has
revealed His goodness and kindness to me. I have received the inestimable alms
of God. His love urges me...
So, for all mankind, I beg Your Eternal Love.
Let me pour out this Love into the hearts of all. Let me welcome with
compassion the poor, the oppressed, the rejected, those in danger, and lead them
to You, the Good Shepherd. Grant
me this grace through the Blessed Sacrament, the source of Your human-divine
love.
... Never have I been able to
separate the devotion of the Sacred Heart from that of the
Blessed Sacrament. ... When you are appealing to His Divine Heart for a
soul, He will never refuse you, although sometimes
He demands much prayer, sacrifice and
suffering."
Blessed Maria Droste
Good Shepherd Sister
Our Lord made known to Bl Maria that
He wanted the entire universe consecrated to His Heart and that she was to request this of the Holy Father. She carried out this delicate task
in June, 1898, and again, on the insistence of our Lord, in January, 1899.
"My mission on earth will be completed
as soon as the consecration is accomplished", she said to her confessor. And so it
was. Shortly before her death (June 8, 1899) Bl Maria received news of the
publication of the encyclical ANNUM SACRUM with the decree of
consecration of the entire human race to the
Sacred Heart (Pope Leo XIII) on June 11,
1899.
Jesus meek
and humble of Heart,
make our
hearts like unto Thine!

to walk
to receive a priest's First
