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).

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.

June, dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Nothing is more founded on reason, nothing is more conformed to the
doctrines of the Faith than the adoration of the Heart of Our Lord Jesus
Christ.

The heart of Jesus is what there is most profound in creation. It is the
noblest part of the holy human nature of the Word made Flesh. In our very
physical nature, the heart is everything: when it functions in an irregular
manner, life is in danger; when it ceases to beat man immediately ceases to
live. Likewise in the moral order: it is through the heart that we are
something. It is the heart which gives to thoughts, to actions, to
intentions, their value, good or bad. The good is what comes out of the
good treasure of our heart (Lk.6:45). What constitutes evil is the bad
dispositions of the heart (Mt.15:19). Also, while the eye of man takes hold
and fixes on exterior appearances, God looks only at the heart (1Kgs.16:7).
In the language of all peoples . . ., the heart has always signified
courage, virtue, and especially love. After the grave has snatched away a
cherished being from us, we believe that we still hold him completely if we
possess his heart. This part, separate from the rest of the body, seems to
remain essential.

Trinity Sunday + June (Month of the Sacred Heart)

The Most Blessed Trinity, The One Undivided Triune God

Cor Jesu, lancea perforatum, Miserere nobis!


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


Gratias tibi sit, Deus, gratias tibi vera et una Trinitas, una et summa Deitas, sancta et una Unitas.

The Antiphon at the Magnificat


O Altitudo divitiarum sapientiae et scientiae Dei: quam incomprehensibilia sunt judicia ejus, et investigabiles viae ejus!

Chapter during Vespers


And now, we start saying the Angelus again. :) At 6-12-6.

Alone with God
By Father J. Heyrman, S.J.

THE MOST SUBLIME MYSTERY
The Feast of the Blessed Trinity

1. With the descent of the Holy Ghost on the Apostles the revelation of the Three Divine Persons is complete. Therefore on the first Sunday after Pentecost the Church celebrates the feast of the Blessed Trinity: one God in three persons, this is the most sublime mystery of our faith. The sole aim of Christian worship is to pay homage to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.

2. Petition: That, animated with stronger faith, firmer hope and more ardent love, we may everyday pay more worthy homage to the Father, whose sons we are called and truly are; to the Son, who is our Redeemer, and who deigns to call us His brethren; and to the Holy Ghost, who is “our soul’s most welcome guest”. (dulcis hospes animae)

I. The Most Sublime Mystery, “Source of Our Salvation”

In the fullness of time the Son came from the Father, to assume our nature and to “dwell amongst us”, and to speak to us as man to man. He revealed to us the Name of the Father; through His death and resurrection He reconciled us with the Father. And when, risen from the grave and glorified, he had returned to the Father, together with the Father He sent us the Holy Ghost, who abides with us in order that in and through the Church He may till the end of time complete the work of our salvation. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, true God and true Man, “the deep things of God” (1 Cor. 2:10), however unfathomable by the human mind, have been made known to us “now through a glass in a dark manner” (1 Cor. 13:12).

The purpose of this day’s feast is to thank, praise and honour the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost for all the benefits we have received. Praise, homage and thanks: these words are always on the lips of our holy Mother the Church, whenever and wherever on earth she prays, blesses, sings or offers sacrifice.

No other mystery is so bewildering, so impenetrable to the human mind, and so infinitely beyond our understanding; and yet, at the same time, so truly and intimately pervading the very depths of our being and influencing our life. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, we were re-born in Baptism and started a new supernatural life. In the name of the Blessed Trinity all the Sacraments are administered, every blessing given, and every prayer begins and ends.

Throughout eternity, with transports of joy, we shall sing those words, which so often recur in the canonical hours of this feast, O beata Trinitas, O Blessed Trinity.

II. From the Father, through the Son, in the Holy Ghost

“From the Father,” whom no man hath seen, all things have their being. He is the Spring of the mysterious immanent fertility of the Deity Itself. He is “the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ”, before whom St Paul “bows the knees”, - an extraordinary expression in the mouth of a Jew, as Jews used to pray standing. To us He is the omnipotent Creator, the Giver of all good things, “Our Father, who art in heaven.” Nearly every prayer in the liturgy is addressed to the Father. At the end of time Christ Himself will deliver up the kingdom to Him. “Afterwards the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God the Father” (1 Cor. 15:24).

“Through the Son,” through the Word, the Father has created all things, “and re-established all things in him that are in heaven and on earth” (Eph. 1:10). Through His Son, the Father has revealed Himself. “He that seeth me, seeth the Father” (Jn. 14:9). Through Him we know the Holy Ghost; by Him we have been saved, through Him and in Him we have been made God’s adopted children. He is our Mediator; through Him the Father draws us unto Himself; through Him we have access to the Father; through Him all our prayers ascend to the Father.

“In the Holy Ghost” all things are consummated: first of all the mysterious immanent fertility is brought to completion in Him. And so is all the external activity of the Divinity – creation, redemption, sanctification. Whatever the Father has ordained from all eternity has been fulfilled through the Son, and will be consummated “in the Holy Ghost”. “He shall abide with you” (Jn. 14:17), “and teach you all truth” (Jn. 16:13). “He himself giveth testimony that we are the sons of God, and if sons, heirs also; heirs indeed of God and joint heirs with Christ” (Rom. 8: 16,17). And He will give us, even to our bodies, the reward of eternal glory. The prayers of the liturgy, addressed to the Father through the Son, and with “in the unity of the Holy Ghost”.

III. On Earth and in Heaven.

On earth it is our privilege, by the profession of the true faith, to acknowledge the Majesty of the eternal Triune God. This is knowledge through faith, which St. John of the Cross calls “a veiled, loving knowledge”. It is only partial knowledge but, according to St. Thomas, even a very imperfect apprehension of the most sublime things is worth far more than the perfect understanding of common things. “In heaven,” says Ruysbroeck the mystic, “we shall possess and enjoy the true oneness and clearly discern the Unity in the Trinity. May we receive this favour from the divine Love, who never turns away a beggar.”
Prayer: Blessed be the Holy Trinity, and undivided Unity: we will give glory to Him, because He hath shown His mercy to us (Intriot, today’s Mass).

And here's a beautiful (very beautiful) hymn composed by St. Alphonsus Ligouri :) called:
we sang this at Most Holy Mass today :)

O God of Loveliness
O Bello Dio del Paradiso
St. Alphonsus Ligouri, d. 1787
Tr. Fr. E. Vaughan, C.SS.R.

O God of loveliness, O Lord of heav'n above,
How worthy to possess My heart's devoted love!
So sweet Thy countenance, So gracious to behold;
That one, one only glance, To me were bliss untold.

Thou art blest Three in One, Yet undivided still;
Thou art that One alone Whose love my heart can fill.
The heav'ns and earth below Were fashioned by Thy word;
How amiable art Thou my ever dearest Lord.

O Loveliness supreme And Beauty infinite;
O everflowing Stream And Ocean of delight;
O Life by which I live, My truest life above;
To Thee alone I give My undivided love.

Jesus, Mary, I love Thee; Save Souls!

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