Devotion to Sacred Heart of Jesus, increases our love of God. ‍

All the teachings of our Lord Jesus are based on the principles of charity. The best way to attract human beings to God is through love. Though God has assigned various duties and responsibilities to us, He has not imposed anything more serious than or more forceful than that to love. Because of this love we will be known as His disciple and friend. O Sweet Jesus, You beckon us to love you, though we are sinners. We proclaim with St. Augustine: Lord if You give us permission to love You, that itself is a great thing. But instead, when You command us to love You, there is no doubt that Your love for us is unfathomable.

All you devotees who want to love Jesus, if you had suffered and labored with the sole intention of enjoying God’s love, then how easily you would have grown in it. Instead we are laboriously running after dangerous and deceitful worldly things. What do we gain from this race?

Jesus said to St. Margaret,” I will inflame the heart of those who love My Sacred Heart with God’s love. Devotion to Sacred Heart will kindle in the hardened heart, sparks of divine love. It will enlighten the lukewarm with the light of divine love.” Therefore brothers! The fruit to gather from the sacred tree, the tree of devotion to Sacred Heart planted in the garden of Church, is divine love. The more you grow in this divine love, the stronger you grow in facing suffering. Thereby our heart will not only assimilate the Sacred Heart of Jesus, but will become the home of the Holy Trinity. So let us grow in this devotion and try to make others grow in it too.

INVOCATION (JAPAM) ‍

O, Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, when I meditate about your unfathomable love, my heart inflames with love for You. O my Jesus, my life and my everything, I give myself fully to You. When will my tongue speak only about You and when will my heart love only You? Lord, my life is useless if it is not based on your love. Jesus, full of love! Bless me that I will be yours fully, live fully for you, and in that last hour when death points bless me to place my soul in Your Divine Heart.

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.
