Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Part 12





Today is the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.  We have been paying particular attention to devotion to the Sacred Heart throughout the month of June.  See a review of previous posts here and here.

The following is taken from a meditation for the Feast of the Sacred Heart by St. Margaret Mary Alacoque:

"Consider that Jesus Christ, who is the Source of all blessings, has condescended to remain always among us because He wishes to be present at all times in order to share His treasures with us.  And not only has our loving Saviour graciously consented to share with us in this august Sacrament all the blessing of which He is the Source, but by giving Himself to us, he has willed to give us the very Source of these blessings:  "I will show you every kind of blessing; but in what other place except in the Blessed Eucharist, can you find every kind of blessing!" (St. Bernard)."
