SOLEMNITY of the Most SACRED HEART
of JESUS
of JESUS
His love endures
forever! - cf. Ps
136
"Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus infallibly leads souls to the Eucharist. Love for, and
devotion to, the Eucharist infallibly leads souls to the mystery of God's
infinite love symbolized for us by the Sacred Heart, a symbol necessary because
love itself is immaterial and imperceptible: We need the sensible manifestation
of the Divine Heart.
So
it is that the Sacred Heart, the Holy Eucharist,
and Love itself, are one and the same thing; for in the Eucharist
dwells Jesus, in Jesus His Heart, and in His Heart is infinite love. The
Eucharist can be explained only by love; the love of Jesus is the love of His
Heart, and so the Eucharist is explained only by the Sacred Heart. Drawn close
to the Sacred Heart of Jesus by cords of love, we receive into our own hearts
the Eucharistic Lord in Holy Communion. It is not possible to carry fire in
one's bosom and not become inflamed by it. Fire
enkindles fire."

"Love overcomes, love delights.
Those who love the Sacred Heart
rejoice."
St Bernadette
“O Jesus, a soldier opened Your side with his lance,
so that, through the gaping wound, we might know the charity of
Your Heart, which loved us unto death, and that we might enter into Your
unutterable love through the same channel by which it came to us. Approach,
then, O my soul, the Heart of Christ, that magnanimous Heart, that hidden Heart,
that Heart which thinks of all things and knows all things; that loving Heart,
all on fire with love. Make me understand, O Lord, that the door of Your Heart
was forced open by the vehemence of Your love. Allow me to enter into the secret
of that love which was hidden from all eternity, but is now revealed by the
wound in Your Heart.” -St.
Bernardine of Siena
“Who will not love that Heart so deeply
wounded?
Who will not return love to One who so loved us?”
St. Bonaventure
Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on
us!
