“In the Sacred Heart, every treasure of wisdom and knowledge is hidden.

In that divine heart beats God’s infinite love for everyone and

for each of us as individuals.”

– St. John Paul II

Today’s Reflection

Isn’t it awesome to think that the Sacred Heart of Jesus beats for every single person ever created? But even more amazing is that it beats just for you.

“O Sacred Heart of Jesus, living and life-giving fountain of eternal life, infinite treasury of the Divinity, and glowing furnace of love, Thou art my refuge and my sanctuary. O adorable and glorious Saviour, consume my heart with that burning fire that ever inflames Thy Heart. Pour down on my soul those graces that flow from Thy love. Let my heart be so united with Thine, that our wills may be one, and mine may in all things be conformed to Thine. May Thy will be the rule of both my desires and my actions.”

Behold this Heart

Posted on June 13, 2021 by Women of Grace Staff

June 13

“Behold this Heart, which has so loved men that It has spared nothing, even to exhausting and consuming Itself, in order to testify Its love. In return, I receive from the greater part [of humanity] only ingratitude, by their irreverence and sacrilege, and by the coldness and contempt they have for Me in this Sacrament of Love. It is for this reason I ask thee that the first Friday after the octave of the Blessed Sacrament, be appropriated to a special feast to honor My Heart by receiving Communion on that day, and making reparation for the indignity that It [My Heart] has received. And I promise that My Heart shall dilate to pour out abundantly the influences of My Love on all who will render It this honor or will obtain My Heart being given this honor.”

-Jesus to Sister Josefa Menendez

He afflicts us

Posted on June 8, 2021 by Women of Grace Staff

June 8

“What a weakness it is to love Jesus Christ only when He caresses us, and to be cold immediately when He afflicts us. This is not true love. Those who love thus, love themselves too much to love God with all their heart.”

-St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

For Reflection:

Ponder this quotation in light of the Holy Father’s definition of love as an act of total self-donation. Am I truly willing to love God and others in this way?
