From the Consecration of a Family to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

O divine Heart, deign to preside over our family gatherings, to bless our enterprises, both spiritual and temporal, to dispel our cares, to sanctify our joys, to alleviate our sufferings. If ever one or the other of us should have the misfortune to afflict Thee, remind him, O Heart of Jesus, that Thou art good and merciful to the penitent sinner. And when the hour of separation strikes, when death shall come to cast mourning into our midst, we will all, both those who go and those who stay, be submissive to Thy eternal decrees. We shall console ourselves with the thought that a day will come, when the entire family, reunited in heaven, can sing for ever Thy glories and Thy mercies.

Uninterrupted Sermon

The image of the Sacred Heart is an eloquent and uninterrupted sermon that exhorts one to love and confidence toward God, who has loved men so much.

"I will bless every house in which the picture of My sacred Heart shall be exposed and honored." So said Our Lord to Blessed Margaret Mary. In the presence of God, determine what you will do this month for the love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and what special graces you will ask for . . .

Month of the Sacred Heart

It is to His heart I must look for the source of that affection, and for the fountain of those tears. If He pours forth the prayer of God in the mountain pass at night, or lays His weary head on the stone for a pillow, it is His heart that prays, loves, and labors for me; His heart watches while He sleeps.
