To reveal the Heart of Jesus to us, you have only to reveal your own (Cardinal Pie).

Cor Jesu sacratissimum, miserere nobis. (ter)

The process to heal and soothe a very tired soul is also a very tiring and trying process, but the fruit of this whole process is sweet and it is made so much easier because we know that we have an infinitely loving Heart who is always with us, whose LOVE is so great, one can subsist inside of this great love and be so content and so fully reassured. 

To reveal the Heart of Jesus to us, you have only to reveal your own 

(Cardinal Pie).

Taken from the website above.

One day, St. Catherine of Sienna asked Our Lord why He allowed His side to be opened. The Divine Master gave the saint His goal:

“The principal goal I had in mind was to reveal to men the secret of My Heart in order that they might understand that My love is even greater than the exterior signs I give of it; for while there is an end to My sufferings, there is no end to My love.

 

How shall we study the Heart of Jesus? How shall we obtain this knowledge? Ah! For anyone who knows the mysterious depths of all the evangelical facts, there is a mystery here. It is that we only find Jesus with Mary and through Mary; we only obtain a sure knowledge of the Son through His Mother.

Indeed, who better knew Jesus than Mary, His Mother? Therefore, who better than she can teach us to know Him?

A mother knows not only the exterior features, the face, and the gait of her son; she knows him through and through, she penetrates into the deepest corners of his heart, she guesses his most intimate thoughts, and even his most secret desires. That is how Mary knew Jesus. She studied Him both with a sentiment of motherly tenderness and respectful admiration as her Son and as her God. She kept all His words in her heart and drew her inspiration from the spirit of all His works.

No one knew as well as Mary the interior life of Jesus that Scripture calls the life of the heart, that is to say, the true life. Our Lady of the Sacred Heart! Yes, truly, o Mary, this name belongs to you; for this adorable heart was transparent for you, you read openly in all its thoughts, movements, and sentiments. What am I saying? Your Heart was the mirror in which all the traits of your Son’s Heart were reflected. To reveal the Heart of Jesus to us, you have only to reveal your own (Cardinal Pie).

Meditations sur le Sacré-Coeur de Jésus pour tous les vendredis de l’année par un directeur de grand séminaire, Rome, 1909, p. 5 and 6.

Ps 32: 11, 19: Cogitationes Cordis eius in generatione et generationem: ut eruat a morte animas eorum et alat eos in fame. (Ps 32:1: Exsultate, iusti, in Domino, rectos decet collaudatio.) Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto. Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen. 

Ps 24: 8-9: Dulcis et rectus Dominus: propter hoc legem dabit delinquentibus in via. Vs. Diriget mansuetos in judicio, docebit mites vias suas. Alleluia, Alleluia. 

Mt 11:29: Tollite jugum meum super vos, et discite a me, quia mitis sum et humilis Corde, et invenietis requiem animabus vestris. Alleluia.

Ps 68:21: Improperium exspectavit Cor meum et miseriam, et sustinui qui simul mecum contristaretur et non fuit; consolantem me quae sivi et non inveni. 

John 19: 34: Unus militum lancea latus eius aperuit, et continuo exivit sanguis et aqua. 

Please don't forget that you are not only saved by the blood of Jesus, but that blood of Jesus is complimented by the tears of Mary. Would you believe that? Mary cried for us at the Cross, will she still abandon us in our problems? No! That is why she is the Mother of Perpetual Help. Jesus and Mary (are) not very far away from us. They are only a prayer away from us.

Enthronement Anniversaire

Jesus, Mary, I love You; Save Souls!

Hallo! I'm back! as I announced on the tagboard. Back from a short break from the laptop - which reminds me very much of the retreat we had last year, I want to go for another retreat! and back also from a good weekend, a treat :) with the lab and also with my dear cousins and sister of course.

Anyway, on the 9th of December was the 1st anniversaire of the enthronement of my family to the Sacred Heart! :) The 8th and the 9th were very beautiful days for me. And here's my beautiful family altar all spruced up for the occasion. yay.

More later ...

Deus propitius esto mihi peccatori.

Jesus, Mary, I love Thee; Save Souls!

Jesu mitis et humilis corde, Fac cor nostrum secundum Cor tuum. (ter)

12th Sunday after Pentecost

What have I in heaven? and besides Thee, what do I deisre upon earth? Thou art the God of my heart, and the God that is my portion forever. - Ps. lxxii. 25,26.

Quid enim mihi est in caelo? et a Te quid volui super terram? Deus cordis mei, et pars mea Deus in aeternum

Today's the 12th Sunday after Pentecost :)

A short introduction to the picture of the Sacred Heart of Jesus as above :)

Reading this book: Garcia Moreno, the Avenger and Martyr of Christian Justice, one of the greatest Catholic statesmen of Modern times too, will help you to understand the painting and the history behind the devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus ever since Paray-le-monial at the end of the 1600s.

Dios no muere!: God does not die! - Garcia Moreno

History:

This painting was commissioned by the zealous Ecuadorean Catholic statesman, President Gabriel Garcia Moreno, (1821-1875) and was used during Ecuador’s consecration to the Sacred Heart in 1873. After the president was assassinated, people opposed to the Church twice tried to destroy the painting that was placed in the House of Parliament. For safe keeping, it was given to a Chilean priest of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts ( SS.CC.)

Years later, in Valparaiso, Chile, Fr. Mateo Crawley-Boevey, ss.cc., unexpectedly came upon the painting; many people believe that the discovery helped inspire Fr. Mateo to begin his crusade for the Social Reign of the Sacred Heart. The original is now enshrined in Quito, Ecuador. This is a facsimile of the original oil-painting. (12x16 framed copies available).

Symbolism:

The scepter and the globe convey Christ’s kingship: “Behold the Lord, the Ruler is come; and a Kingdom is in his hand and power and dominion.”(Introit of Epiphany). His heart, as shown to St. Margaret Mary in her apparition, with the symbols of love (the flames and the cross), and the symbols of sorrow (the wound and the crown of thorns), tell us that Christ desires to rule over families and societies through love.

Our Lord is drawing the world to His Sacred Heart – “burning furnace of charity” – in order for the world to share in the graces of salvation.

The majestic yet tender expression of the Savior, his eyes filled with sadness and mercy, appeals to families:

To recognize and love this kingship of Our Lord, who in the mercy of his heart wishes to befriend the home through a life of intimacy and confidence.

To repair in the family itself, the social injuries committed against the authority and love of this divine heart, whose rights are everywhere denied.

To make the home in which the Sacred Heart is enthroned, a sanctuary of powerful family prayer and a center of apostolate-outreach to spread the Reign of the King of Love, “the way, the truth, and the life.”

Ferial Day in Advent

A little post before the next post you will see, which will only be in a few days time.

It's the time of the year for a vacation and this blog will also take a little vacation to rest, revamp and revitalise. =D (most likely by this friday)

and a little bit of interesting news from this my dearest family, please do

priez pour vous! merci beaucoup =D

Today, Fr. C enthroned our whole family to the Sacred Heart of Jesus! and also to the Immaculate Heart of Mary! The King of Kings and the Queen of Queens! enthroned in our house! mighty unbelievable at first, but true, very much so! =D

Thank you Fr.! and also of course the dearest heavenly beings who made this possible!, yay, we have all been waiting for this!!! =D Deo gratias et Mariae! I have been marvelling at the way God helps and answers all our prayers in some way or another and by the way He does everything and anything. It's the way He does all the things that amaze me and it sure never fails to live me up. He is God! Even though there are trials and temptations and every other obstacle that somehow irritates you and temporarily stops you, albeit only for a short while, Deo volente, everything will turn out alright and fine.

After all, the words of this Saint, Dear Saint Pio =), are very true. Meditate on it for a while and you will soon see how true it is. Dearest Jesus works in all marvellous ways that somehow we humans have a hard time deciphering, but in the end when His will prevails, you will know it and you will see how beautiful the way the hands of God work through the Most Holy Ghost and the Angels and the Saints and of course the Queen of all Queens, Dearest Mother Mary, our Mother.

The life of a Christian is nothing but a constant struggle against itself, and its beauty does not become manifest except at the price of suffering. - Saint Padre Pio

And my daddy, uncle clement and kenneth and the rest of the men came back from their retreat, nicely, safely and soundly, with halos all over their heads =D. Fr. Joseph Pfeiffer was good they say, and so was Fr. Couture. I can't wait for the next ladies' retreat or any retreat. but I'm also glad that now, finally, a little break from the horrendous studies (just joking). Daddy gave me this today and the next picture, though a little scary, is sincerely very beautiful in all respects.

As what St. Augustine says, "Let us love the Bridegroom, and the more he is presented to us veiled under deformity, the more precious and sweet is he made to the bride."

Adding on, St. Alphonsus de Ligouri adds, "the more I see Thee so disfigured, Oh my Lord, the more beautiful and lovely dost Thou appear to me. And what are these disfigurements that I behold but signs of the tenderness of that love which Thou dost bear towards me? I love Thee, my Jesus, thus wounded and torn to pieces for me; would that I could see myself too torn to pieces for Thee, like so many martyrs whose portion this has been! But if I cannot offer Thee wounds and blood, I offer Thee at least all the pains which it will be my lot to suffer. I offer Thee my heart; with this I desire to love Thee more tenderly even than I am able. And who is there that my soul should love more tenderly than a God who has endured scourging and been drained of his blood for me? I love Thee, O God of Love! I love Thee, O infinite goodness! I love Thee, O my love, my All! I love Thee, and I would never cease to say, both in this life and in the other, I love Thee, I love Thee, I love Thee!"

Twenty centuries gave come and gone

And today He is still the central figure of the human race.

All the armies that ever marched, All the navies that ever sailed,

All the parliaments that ever sat, All the kings that ever reigned,

Have not effected the life of men on the earth as much

As the life of this one, solitary, single person.
