MARY, QUEEN OF PEACE,
PRAY FOR US.
The love of God has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.
(Rm 5:5b)
It is a beautiful day, this Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. May Jesus say about us, what He said about Saint Gertrude the Great of Helfta (1256-1301/2): I live in the heart of Gertrude. Heart of Jesus, king and center of all hearts, have mercy on us.
Two [favors] which I mention in particular. They are the seal on my heart with those brilliant jewels which are Your salvific wounds, and the wound of love with which You manifestly and efficaciously transfixed by heart ...
In addition to these favors, You have granted me the priceless gift of Your familiar friendship, giving me in various ways, to my indescribable delight, the noblest treasure of Your divinity, Your divine heart, now as a sign of our mutual familiarity, exchanging it with mine.
(Saint Gertrude the Great, The Herald of Divine Love, Book II, Ch. 23)
I need nothing but God, and to lose myself in the heart of God.
(Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque)
A Christian has a union with Jesus Christ more noble, more intimate and more perfect than the members of a human body have with their head.
He longs to be in you, He wants His breath to be your breath, His heart in your heart, and His soul in your soul.
(Saint John Eudes)
