"I propose to have no other
purpose in all my activities,
either interior or
exterior, than the motive of Love alone...
St Teresa Margaret Redi of the Sacred
Heart
"When
devotion to the Sacred Heart is
recommended, what is being recommended to us is the
gift of our entire self to Jesus - soul and body, thoughts,
feelings, words, actions, joys and sorrows.
Jesus
came to light a fire on earth.
Fire purifies, gives light, communicates, unites. Such is the blaze of Divine
Love devotion to the Sacred Heart enkindles in our hearts.
The
Heart of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament
feeds the flame of our love for the Lord, burning from us the dross of self.
Thus afire we thirst for souls as He does, becoming
His dedicated emissaries among the men and women of our day, so
many of whom neither know Him nor love Him."
Fr Richard Neilson
