Sacred Heart 2022
The highest function of which we are capable in this life is the act of love.  In Heaven, from the intimate knowledge of the divine Essence, flows an ineffable love, which we will direct towards God for all eternity.  We come from an age of profound neglect of the clergy in their effort to explain the fundamental doctrines of the Faith.  Too few Catholics know and love the devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.  Our Lord promised to St. Margaret Mary that he would pour forth lavishly the influence of His divine love on all who honor His Sacred Heart.  He gave us this devotion at the dawn of the last age as a remedy to a cold, cruel, and faithless world.  How did Our Lord choose to appear in the Eucharistic miracle of Lanciano?  He desired that His Heart would remain with us forever.  Proper devotion to the Sacred Heart is found in one who surrenders completely to our Divine Master and asks nothing in return.  We love in return for the love He has shown us.
