Sacred Heart of Jesus and real fortune

Everybody wants to have a fortunate life. But very few have realized where real fortune and real satisfaction lies. If we ask our loving Father Jesus, where we could find lasting fortune then, our lord who is the wellspring of all virtues will reply,” My love, fortune, happiness and blissfulness is in my Father and in spreading His power and glory.” My loveless soul! Don’t you hear this? If you amass worldly riches and pleasures then that would not be enough to make you fortunate. If you rely on reputation and opulence what surety do you have about its lasting stature? Worldly pleasures are also not permanent. If you rely upon created things, they are bound to abandon you. If you had spent your time in spreading God’s glory and loving Him instead of on transient worldly glory and fame then how blessed you would have been .

The real fortune should be from and in the Lord. Saint Francis Assisi who understood that the real center of fortune is the Lord, cried incessantly,” My Lord is my everything.” In the same way St. Bernard, St.Alphonsus Liguori, St. Francis Xavier, St. Sales, St. Louis, St.Catherine, St. Theresa, Little Flower ,they all envisioned their fortune and happiness in the God and in the Sacred Heart who out of love towards mankind became the sacrificial lamb and continue to renew the sacrifice daily on our altars. Their fortune was in adoring, loving and serving the Holy Eucharist.

The more closely we are associated to God the more fortunate we will be. When we distance ourselves from Jesus we are doomed. Let us forgo our interest in material things and turn towards God..

INVOCATION (JAPAM)

Sacred Heart of Jesus, the source of all blessings and happiness of the heavenly hosts! To date not knowing what real blessing is, it is true that I have pledged my love towards material things. But now I am aware of where my true blessing lies. My Lord, who is the treasure of all goodness, light of my wisdom and happiness of my heart, I adore you. I love you with all my might. Sacred Heart of Jesus, aflame with love for us! You are my treasure and fullness of all blessings. Bless me to love and serve you all throughout my life

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
