Passion of Jesus

All the pain and passion that Jesus suffered bodily ended in His lifetime. It was the natives of Jerusalem who inflicted all these iniquities. But the adorable Sacred Heart of Jesus is suffering right from the beginning of the world to the end. The people responsible for inflicting this pain are the persons specially consecrated to His service, laity, rich and poor alike. When the hard-hearted people sin in churches, families, theaters, hotels, nightclubs, cities etc. it is the Divine Heart that suffers. When Mother Mary and St. Joseph wandered in search of a room, when King Herod wanted to kill the Prince of Peace and the holy family exiled to Egypt, when the Jews mocked Him and wanted to stone Him to death, it was the Sacred Heart that agonized. When His sweat turned into blood in Gethsemane and when Judas betrayed Him, it was the Sacred Heart that was pierced. From the day of the institution of the Holy Eucharist to the day of the end of the world, the very Sacrament of Jesus’ divine love is subject to conscious neglect, but the Sacred Heart through its miraculous mercy bears these terrible acts of sacrilege. The profoundness of this love is beyond human imagination. The history of saints who meditated on the passion of Jesus reveals that they not only glowed in His love but the divine fire consumed them and transformed them. We who wish to follow the steps of these saints should carefully contemplate on the painful passion of Jesus at least for a few minutes each day. We should also make amends for all the injuries and neglects the Sacred Heart sustained.

INVOCATION (JAPAM)

O Heart of Jesus, burning with love for me! I love You with my whole heart. I offer You all the adoration, praise and glory of the heavenly hosts together with those of the faithful on earth, in reparation for the cruel indifference and injuries to which Your loving Heart is everywhere subject and to make amends for my sins, sins of my kindred and the whole world.

Grant to Your Church, O Lord, assurance of freedom, protect our Supreme Pontiff and make haste that all may know the haven of truth, and have unity of faith, so that there may soon be one fold and one Shepherd! Lord, be merciful to the unfortunate sinners, console the souls in Purgatory and be merciful to me, your unworthy servant. O Immaculate Heart of Mary, O Mother of all blessings, I firmly believe that through your powerful intercession, all my prayers and petitions will be granted. Amen
