Holy Week Meditation, The Holy Shroud

Part 1: The Last Supper and the Shroud


What can I offer to Jesus? From one Mass to the next? What else can I offer my Lord?

Part 2: The Last Supper and the Shroud


Cor Jesu sacratissimum, miserere nobis.
Cor Jesu sacratissimum, miserere nobis. 
Cor Jesu sacratissimum, miserere nobis.

Be like St. John:
Be a soul of reparation.
Be a consoler of the Sacred Heart. 

St Vincent de Paul on Humility:

The poor are your masters. You are the servant. 
Humility is nothing but TRUTH and pride is nothing but lying.
Be careful to give no credit to yourself for anything;
if you do, you are stealing from God, to whom alone every good thing is due.

The most powerful weapon to conquer the devil is HUMILITY.
For, as he does not know at all how to employ it, 
neither does he know how to defend himself from it. 

Go to the poor: you will find God.

We should spend as much time in thanking God for His benefits as we do in asking Him for them. 
Make it a practice to judge persons and things in the most favourable light at all times and under all circumstances. 

Fear not; calm will follow the storm, and perhaps soon. 

Virtues is not found in extremes, but in prudence, 
which I recommend as strongly as I can. 

There is nothing good that does not meet with opposition, 
and it should not be valued any less because it encounters objections.

This is my (your) beautiful Jesus.


The Golden Arrow

May the most holy, most sacred, most adorable, most incomprehensible and unutterable Name of God be always praised, blessed, loved, adored and glorified in heaven, on earth and in the hells, by all the creatures of God and by the Sacred Heart of our Lord Jesus Christ in the most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Amen.


Novena

O Lord Jesus Christ, in presenting ourselves before Your adorable Face,
to ask of You the graces of which we stand most in need, (here mention the grace or favor you desire)
we beseech You, above all, to give us
that interior disposition of never refusing at any time
to do what You require of us
by Your holy commandments
and Your divine inspirations.
O good Jesus, Who hast said:
“Ask and you shall receive,
Seek and you shall find,
Knock and it shall be opened to you,”
Give us, O Lord, that faith which obtains all,
or supply in us what may be deficient.
be merciful to us, O God,
and reject not our prayers when, amid our
afflictions, we call upon
Your Holy Name and seek with love and
confidence Your adorable Face.
Amen.
